one thing i still regret today is having torn out pages of writings i didn't like or deleting threads i've created because i was shy or not feeling like putting myself out there.
sometimes there's really good information that comes out and having the privilege to look back at an old writing is almost therapeutic and most always nostalgic.
there's a show i remember watching where people were welcomed to come on stage and read old excerpts from their diary. it was a great laugh for everyone.
it was interesting to witness the personality of the person reading the diary vs their older personality when they were actually writing in the diary years ago.
i thought you had a really good insight and was more so curious if any of that poem came to you in a reflective state, almost like a tidbit of wisdom being channeled to you.
i'm not poet and usually filly my post with grammatical errors but i was grateful to find some of my old writings still up here... even if it's not "good" to the reader it's still exercising my creativity!
i'll try to comment on time next go around!
cheers!
i may see it a bit different then u Eric.
i do not expect to people to b perfect and i hope they do not expect that out of me but some do u know. It is just nice to have the presence of others around.... to have friends. It seems like Brock is not much for personal conversations and when he reveals too much about himself he feels somewhat embarrassed and may delete it. although sometimes the best poems and statements r made by people in a moment of vulnerability and candidness as long as it is not intended to hurt someone else. Being ourselves.... opening up is O.K. though. We find each person has a unique way of expressing. i think that is what God had in mind... for each of us to express his lite in our own particular way and not to b judged by it. Someday i just have to realize my expression will not b like John Lennon and i will not have the same sense of humor as a Robin Williams. i may not even have close to the same charisma of a Robert Kennedy or the spirituality of a Amma but i have to find something about myself i feel comfortable about and express it. Not everyone will agree with it or even like it. i can learn along the way and decide what to discard and what to improve on.... for me... that's what life is all about.
