Soon
You begin to realize
That
"I don't want to"
Is
The world's greatest reason.

How very true Toe!
You can come up with a million 'excuses'..
but, when you stop and think about it,
the main 'reason' is, 'I don't want to.'
Good stuff!!

Toe darling boy now this is absolutely excellent writing, so incredibly true too, I don’t want to is the best reason in the world.

I didn’t know you did philosophy 101 Toe, and very good sense you make too. I shall remember that the next time I’m asked to do something I’d rather not, and when someone asks why not, as they inevitable do I shall say I’m for once following some excellent advice.

Wonderful writing I love this utterly utterly utterly

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

     


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

BRAVO!!! Oh Toerag, this is so very true, sweet friend, and the same thing happens when someone says "I don't care!" as a response to a question, it indicates that one doesn't want to but yet fears hurting a persons feelings! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Toerag, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

ToeMan~
I blew this one up in BIG BOLD TYPE and printed it out !
It now sits on the top of the refrigerator, the laundry hamper and the room where half my life is still stored in boxes~

AND ... if I get any flak ... I'll remind 'them' you said it's a 'REASON' ... not an 'EXCUSE'~
Big difference, huh ?
