From Brett and Hiromi come these sweet comments: "...She likes it Victorian...I really like something about this girl. Pictures aren't worth words*: they're worth more than words. There's a pallid intensity in her photo that reaches me...Zee nice lady's eye bite, and I've been bitten."

* Sometimes Words have their own power...


ALONE
by Edgar Allan Poe
(1830)

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.


Excerpt from THE DESERT
[From the T.E. Lawrence poems, by G. MacEwen]

Only God lives there in the seductive Nothing
That implodes into pure light. English makes Him
an ugly monosyllable, but Allah breathes
A fiery music from His tongue, ignites the sands,
invents a terrible love that is
The very name of pain...


"All men dream: but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the
dusty recesses of their minds wake
in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are
dangerous men, for they may act out
their dream with open eyes,
to make it possible."

T.E. Lawrence
Seven Pillars of Wisdom


Practice non-action.
Work without doing.
Taste the tasteless.
Magnify the small,
increase the few.
Reward bitterness with care.

See simplicity in the complicated.
Achieve greatness in little things.

- Lao-Tse (604-531 BCE)

Don't worry at all then about
tomorrow. Tomorrow can take
care of itself!

- Jesus (30 CE)


Dreamland
by Lewis Carroll

When midnight mists are creeping,
And all the land is sleeping,
Around me tread the mighty dead,
And slowly pass away.

Lo, warriors, saints, and sages,
From out the vanished ages,
With solemn pace and reverend face
Appear and pass away.

The blaze of noonday splendour,
The twilight soft and tender,
May charm the eye: yet they shall die,
Shall die and pass away.

But here, in Dreamland's centre,
No spoiler's hand may enter,
These visions fair, this radiance rare,
Shall never pass away.

I see the shadows falling,
The forms of old recalling;
Around me tread the mighty dead,
And slowly pass away.


A Sufi story...

A holy woman sat outside the temple
watching a tide of people pass, a river
of need, the destitute and the wounded,
the drunk and the lame and the outcast,
and during her prayers, she cried out
to God, "How can a loving creator see
so much suffering, and not do something
to help them?" And God said, "I did do
something. I made you."

Hey, I bought a dildo from Ken once! His was one of very few stores that both had a Kong model (it's huuuuuge) and would ship it to Japan. Very nice guy, and reasonably-priced stuff!

Holy Shit! As we say here in the South! We need a more detailed report! We have one we might break out for the first time tonight, but it's the "much smaller" variety! I see we have some "doing" to do!

Hey Trishy, just want to say thanks for your thoughtful comment on my journal and to thank you too for your interesting and quite inspiring web presence. I'm having fun visiting your "incarnations" in your various sites wink.gif *hugs*

You're welcome...I tend to write in spurts about everything under the sun as the mood strikes me. Because of that, I created a gateway to everything the other day at http://ephemeros.blogspot.com that takes you to (nearly) everything I have online...now, if only Blogger would fix the damned Google ads for me (my template is fine, but the ads are 'underneath' it...I intend to try and make them them disappear entirely since Blogger won't help!!)
