Could I be humbled more if God had made me poor but, no, he sends the where-with-all for me to hear his people shout the goodness out and be a woman moved by the element of doubt. In the middle unprepared for mass consciousness the shoulder crush and body push, in all seriousness, no accidental happening or sheer coincidence but the need of human will to take precedence. An emergent woman; could it be I’m meant to see how easily my counterparts shed human dignity like a raincoat in the sun or love into a basket of there that’s finished, done. Play ball but not before the two opposing sides separate and generate a war-like state of mind and God asks me if I were him, would I still love, recreate, or suffer in the interim? My voice – I have no voice and no visionary stare. My people, your people, contaminate the air to make of understanding like pie in the sky and pride in human nature undoubtedly a lie. A thousand times invaded by foible, sin, and whim, and for a million dollars … I never would be him! Helen (Observations of the crowd at a rugby match between South Africa and New Zealand. We won that one but there's always another) [This message has been edited by Honeybunch (08-10-2005 09:48 AM).] |

Helen, this was very cleaverly done, depicting the commond sense and importance of life...so many people today, think b/c they believe in God, their job is done. God does not wave a magic wand, he puts us here, giving us nothing absolutely nothing but free will, and if we screw it up, we have nothing or no one to blame but ourselves, which begins the climb of human dignity. Thank you for this...and God bless you |

Thanks LeeJ - Thanks for the read. How insightful you are but then again amazing people are just naturally so. M - Don't worry - I myself sometimes need my words interpretated. Thanks for the read. Startime - thanks. Games are always good as long as we all play by the same rules. That doesn't happen often in life though. |

Helen My voice – I have no voice and no visionary stare. My people, your people, contaminate the air to make of understanding like pie in the sky and pride in human nature undoubtedly a lie. You DO have a voice...I just heard it!! |
