How do I block my ears to love’s sweet melody woven in the fabric of ancient history? How do I close my mind to the pictures of you coming like the sunset into sky’s awesome blue? How do I numb my flesh to the shivers of delight creeping as if real in the silence of insight? How do I cut adrift from the likeness of you next to me unseen in all I think and do? And how can I live with so much to hide? Helen / 5 November 2007 |

I don't know if I would ever want those thoughts to disappear...better to have known them/felt them than not. M |

Hi JL - Oh, I was hoping for a Dr Phil type answer but I guess at the end of the day we are our own best advisors - just got to believe that we are. M - I didn't mention that along with the package comes a severe sense of isolation which persists until one can file it away into the "have had" compartment. I don't think I have one of those. Thanks to both of your for the read. Much appreciated. |

OK Helen, you asked for it! Here’s my Dr. Phil: The best way to block your ears is with your fingers spread wide apart. It never hurts to listen… A closed mind is a dangerous mind; to one’s self only, and if someone has made that type of impression on you further investigation is warranted, is it not? Now the flesh is somewhat different in that it may cause emotions more relevant than the conscious mind and intuition, so careful consideration is needed here. Reality makes a good bedfellow if being adrift mentally causes visions of something unseen. Living in a state of hiding may not be the answer to your situation, but dreaming is always good. Heeheee...  I still think your poem is excellent!!  JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

JL - So now, according to form as witnessed on television, I shall just dab at my eyes and nod my head. I do not know what they do after that which just goes to show that we can never know everything. Thank you, Dr JL! |
