into my inner senses turmoil can begin upsetting my dreamy peace even understanding how this turmoil upsets others I have not the way to hold it back has a mind of it own I hear the cries of those in its wake to wake up and deal with the problem when I try only makes matters worse digging myself deeper in trouble its too bad its too sad Slowly I find my place the place before all the hubbub is a peaceful place here I will stay ©February 23, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (02-23-2014 05:23 PM).] |

Sounds like you have a good grip on your emotions and know how to express them well as you do here. Touch, but don't look |

Not nearly as good as I would like. These emotions of mine, when let loose is like a stampede of wild horses. Thanks Jack. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |

ahhh yes, those visitors inside our thoughts, mostly unwelcomed.. kick those dudes out jerry before you blow a head gasket.. seriously though.. pieces like this most dont have the stones to write about.. thats too bad too, because we all have those unwanted visitors from time to time, and one of the best ways of getting rid of them is to first of all, acknowledge their there.. and how do we do that.. by talking to someone about it, who can actually just simply... listen or.. write about it and have all your friends here, listen, with their eyes and hearts |

Just watched America America for the third in a few years. It takes me a while to get the most out of a movie at times. This time I ended up with tears flowing.If you have not seen this film it is worth a couple of watches. A young Greek man is sent off to his uncle in Constantinople try to make it and get to America eventually to make good and send back first for his younger sister,then his two other sisters.His three brothers next and then for his mother so she will end her life in peace. The father gave a long talk to his son and I now know what he meant when he confided to this young son that he himself "holds his sins within his heart". And after all the hard life and work the son goes through he gets to America and starts sending money to his family.He uttered to someone, "my sins are in my heart" as he had to commit some as his father must have known would happen. His last words are spoken as he was gathering tips for shinning shoes was to the next customer. "C'on c'on People are waiting, People are waiting". And then my tears fell and rolled down hill like a broken dam. Best to all, jo |

This is so special, Jo. WoW! We in the so-called civilized countries know not the true meaning of want and freedom. Thank you for informing me about the movie. I'll check it out. I don't have cable or disk, and haven't had for five years. I do rent DVD's at times and play them on there. I'll check for it, thank you again. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |
