Let's talk about something important

[Doreen Peri]

NPR did a series (maybe still in progress) called "this I believe". It was an essay series, people submitted essays then they chose some for the authors to read on the air every week or something like that. Sort of similar to this question.... google it, to listen to a few and read a few. they even have a special website for the series.

Thank you all for your input! I love reading about what's important to you!

unk sums it up nicely

okay, I will un-truth you... just this once though,
but I already like the truth that's in you

truth or lies, they exist as a team,
a whole picture as such... necessary

deception should have been more the term used,
as if even you yourself would hardly want to be deceived

truth is only what it is... nothing more
but deception is... everything else

first song on this album comes to mind...

I lied—It is personal
and subjective as hell.

No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence--that which makes its truth, its meaning--its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream--alone.”

― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

To find peace in my mind...watch my daughter being her own woman...to watch my wife continue to challenge her own being....to keep a brush in my hand, and to be able to continue making the connection between my eye, mind hand...to find words...
