i don't normally post things like this. but lately i'm really aware of how people's destinies play out. this example is a bit shocking and makes one question how things even get to a point like this.

friendship is a good religion.

yes, sonofthesun, thanks for giving us pause to think and discuss through sharing your poem.

if her death left you numb for so many years, she was not nothing to you. why did you feel responsible for her death?

here i am, eating (inhaling) suNshine in a peanut butter sandwich and a pear, my nose pressed to the sweet and ripe and yellow it’s not that i need sunshine it’s that i need to fill a hoLe bigger than death like when you realize you have surrounded yourself with people and still find yourself alone ...

jim, this poem not only brings home the weariness and battle of the soldier, but also the loved ones waiting at home and how will we explain our destructive wars to anyone looking from the outside in. it all seem so unnecessary that we kill each other in the name of what? when life (and love) is sac...

jim ...thank you so much for sharing your poem. i saw the humor in it and all the pain and i feel better for not being alone in my silly human-like despair (even if at different times). i think we all have our moments of such deep existential and spiritual despair and our own struggles to find bala...

aah, ya made me tear up, miss dori. thanks for the encouragements and explaining the new features. i'll be sure to share some of the things i've finished since i last posted here. it was great to browse through and see all the fantastic new offerings. there's nothing like a group of artists to encou...

aah memories! yours made me smile. when i started working, i lived in a backyard apartment (used to be a garage), i had all kinds of bugs & unwelcome visitors, but the geckos were the worst. the little buggers were everywhere, specially where i didn't expect them...like falling through my hair into ...
