A Matter Of Play And Pay The mind has powers beyond comprehension, but you of little faith do not realize this fact. Why are you so willing to let what is beautiful fall out and become lodged in between cushions. The waves of life can only knock you off center so far, but can capsize you only upon your request. Have you fallen in to the realities of the players upon the screen and have you forgotten that for them it is a matter of play and pay. Do not let this life you dreamed of slip away, it is only a matter of turning off the fantasy’s, and look beyond what most to believe is reality. Life is deeper than that which occupies your time, and what makes you think I will be here when you realize the show is over and someone else got the prize. What do you think that the players of the screen ever wonder who they touch beyond the camera, or couldn’t you say they just do not care or even know you are there, to them they are acting out a simple scene that is writtien upon paper and played out in front of nobody like you and me. If I am not mistaken these actors that you crave give quick and easy answers on how to live life today, but never ever play the game of life in that same way. So please before you capsize this dream of yours and mine, turn away to all of the fantasy’s and spend some time with me today. By, Cerenity This is in no way cutting down actors, it is my way of venting. |

Replace the television with a good stereo and put on some really good tunes. Good venting you have here and I can understand your frustration. Really nice piece  |

Rex, I don't watch any either, and I do not know if this makes me notice it more but that D--- remout is going to vanish!!!! Mark, You are so right and what is not funny is that I can have the stereo on so high the house shakes and it does not faze so and so. Ma, Thank you a book would keep me from trying to fix the unfixable. Marge, Thank you, you are so loving to me, you know what is so funny, well not funny but you treat me better than anyone in my life right now and no one except friends on this web site will have anything to do with my writing, I wonder how many other poeple on this site have it this way to??? Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Cerenity, excellent!!! You have hit the nail on the head, too often do we not see the reality of things because we're still wanting the fantasy!! A well-versed, well-written rant!!! Superb! -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Cerenity a great message. I rarely watch tv these days. I tend to spend most of my time in Passions. PLease tell me the people here are real and not actors. LOL a wonderful poem. "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else" faster-Manic street preachers. |

Janet, You make me laugh as well I have four of those 450tys I can make the house shake rattle and roll like a typical Ca. earth quake and those batteries are Bunny garenteed to out last ANYTHING, and how do you figure they could possiably have the right to complain about our writting. Hi Sven, I guess they feel no reality worth the trouble, but I can not get by missing even one of mine or someone elses with out putting so much of myself into it, expecally if I am supose to. Brian, I have not of yet found a untrue soul in this place, and if I did its only because they have not yet opened up to the love and friendship that resides here. Thank you all for your so kind replys and friendships. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |
