brought down to earth words sting like a bee they echo in the hurt ringing inside our ears in continuous motion oh, how we anticipate hope for the inevitable and wholly inaccessible prospect of false hope humans are nothing less seeking pain and distress ©January 2, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

This is spoken of By old King Solomon. You probably didn't realize it, but you are speaking to what is said in Ecclesiastes 1:14 thru 1:18. Great job Jerry. I'm with you on this, Jerry. Excellent insight! 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. |

No, JL, I had no idea, but I will check out Ecclesiastes 1:14 thru 1:18. Thanks for the information and your comments. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Heavy stuff, Jerry. Made me think of this: "Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all" (Emily Dickinson) I hope that I never lose hope, and hope you do the same. |

Thanks Ice, and I remember reading that Dickinson quote many years ago, and you have brought the place and the girl back into my memories. She was trying to interest me in poetry, however, I was much more into getting those petticoats off her than reading poetry. Petticoats? Damn! That aged me big time. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Apathy and silence, with fleet feet, and not a backward glance can make one almost wish for the sting just so one knows he/she is still breathing.  Your thoughts this morning left a sting in my eyes...settled in my throat like anaphylactic shock. I'll have to look up those Bible references, too. Some profound words here. |
