at first i'd thought it lost but reflection reveals i threw it away it never quite suited me at least not their definition shackled and chained in morals and practices that mean nothing but to fools mired in time who cease to understand that spirit is timeless |

why for I feel unworthy when I read words like this....blaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh...it's past my bedtime...where's my batteries!!! If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

smiling. I just had a talk with an elderly gentleman about sanity. He told me there is a certain freedom in people's assumptions--now that he is old and considered "senile" he can be quite honest and speak his mind freely. And get away with it. He further confided that he's thinking the same things he always has, but now he delights in speaking "unedited." smile. and that is timeless spirit!  y'always get me thinking... |

but to fools mired in time who cease to understand that spirit is timeless I am supposed to keep up with this? You've nearly scared me off.  ~I wanna live, I wanna give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold~ Neil Young |

insanity is not a crime...remeber? I'd say a lot of things aren't a crime. but...umm. yeah he knows what I'm talking about..and life feeds on life? Wishing it wasn't that way but... ever notice that all pink floyd songs are about drugs? I just noticed that. I must be stupid. or preocupied. and if this interests you? i saw a billboard in a building today that said sleep deprevision is dangerous and unhealthy and people should get at least 7-9 hours a day. And if you are tired you are not getting enough sleep (no? i would never have guesed  )ha...I laughinteresting rambleings today. I feel like talking nonsense. And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!" -Tool [This message has been edited by Wind (09-27-2003 07:47 PM).] |

 (sigh) I'd say sanity is a mixture of being honest, headstrong, free-spirited, and a bit reckless! (big hugggssssss) It's like Seal's song "But we're never gonna survive, unless we get a little crazy!" (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is deeply thought-provoking, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Raphael, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Raph, I adore this and you know the creed: Normal is boring This write is timeless in itself truly society weighs much too much on what is and what should be I often think that the people going around smiling for no reason, laughing to themselves and generally acting out of sorts, just may be the sane ones . . . think about it. yes, spirit is timeless beautiful job again, as always xxoo |

Wasn't it you that said, sanity is overrated? You always cut to the bone, where the meat is tastier!  |

A sanity clause always should be dressed in red! Personally, I left that one out of my contract. Great write, Sir Poet. Thank you for sharing it. |

I think I will have a T-Bone, Rare...... Then, while I am chewing through all of that bloody meat.....I can sit there with it hanging out of my mouth and that "What, who me?" look on my face, shrug and say "Paaah!" Nice job Raph, you scored a ten ring on that one. |

Hmmmmm Doesn't read like sanity/insanity at all. Reads like the five letter "f" word, Western style, or make that Middle-East. I threw it away too. And glad of it. glider |

Thanks everyone, if one's sanity is based on society and society is ever changing how can you truly determine what sane is. Sanity. morals and taboos are as fadish as fashin. Early in the century a woman wearing a skirt above her ankles was considered a harlot..looking back many of the things we once considered taboo seem ridiculous. blah blah |
