Where no tyranny is tolerable

0 posted 2000-11-25 03:30 PM


I believe I am everything I know,
that "I am all that I have met,"
and that all the friends I have ever had
walk beside me wherever I go.

I believe I am a part
of everything there is and was,
that you are also part of me,
that you and I are universal

I believe that all religion's in the heart.
that all the deities we worship,
all the demons that we fear,
live only in ourselves.

I believe that everything will pass.
I believe that Time will always win.
I believe that nothing lasts forever,
in Nature, in People, and in Change,
that all Life goes back from where it came.

And I believe that Friendship is for Life:
and I believe someone will love me,
even though I don't know who she'll be,
that something I will bring is needed,
that by someone I am being sought.


Jaime

Jamie--

welcome to passions! this is an amazing
first piece...heck it's an amazing first
piece period!! this really made me think
and it also brought a smile to my face...

i especially liked this verse,

"And I believe that Friendship is for Life:
and I believe someone will love me,
even though I don't know who she'll be,
that something I will bring is needed,
that by someone I am being sought."

SHE is out there...just keep believing!
take care, and again welcome!

Dear reader.
I deeply appreciate your attention to reading my stuff.  Please
note, however, that for technical reasons I can not yet use the
"reply" function (I am blind and use a screen access program).  I
can read your reply, but please do not be offended if I do not
personally reply to your reply on the board using the icons, but
love to respond to mail, and have the time of my life with it!  I
hope to resolve the posting issue in the next few days
I want to thank you again for taking the time to read my piece, and
look forward to correspond with you.

                             Cheers,
                              Jaime
