Who is Beth? |

Sometimes her anxiety about death is expressed A search for answers. How can one learn to live with death? How can one detach oneself from the past and its flesh-curdlingly morbid realities...Decay, immobility, ultimate delivery; these images, which are all symbolically associated with death… sometimes haunt her. The anguish they arouse relieves her from the guilt of being the same old fellow… Even though she should have changed by now. Deductive, analytical, prospective: Beth is at once a researcher, a detective, and a woman of science. She is fairly introverted, (not usually, though) and her discrimination tends to direct her towards the spheres of inner life. She is astute at drawing rational parallels between phenomena of different origins…. Her love life will be subject to desire and passion; But since she is more aroused by ideas and fantasies… Beth may experience lulls in intensity. When she yields to her penchant for emotional upheaval and her desire for coercion and pleasure, Beth may find herself sailing into the teeth of a hurricane-force gale. "I mean that loving you is strange and adored by me throughout..oh no it's you again, blessing you with every kiss..." |

And Beth is also a very talented poet. wow a stunning poem, I loved this, quite dark and most heavy questions asked. I hope that you find the answers that you are looking for.

She is fairly introverted, (not usually, though) --- This made me smile--I too am an extroverted introvert, so I understood you perfectly (be afraid, beth...grin) A nice pondering of identity and self analysis---I enjoyed this much...and it's all you, and it's all good. |

My Dearest Beth; It takes a woman of courage to face her inner deamons straight in the eye ( the only way to get rid of them) and profound wisdom to know yourself. You are on your way to knowing who you truly are, except where is your inner knowlwdge of the woman who is tender and generous of heart and has a tremendous ability to love and is filled with compassion and understanding? Knowing your own beauty is essential. Incredibly well written, your gift for poetry is exquisite! All my love, Mom Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Parker; Your response means more to me than you think, Thanks. Ethome: My wish is to someday find those answers and I hope as time goes by, I am happy now with just understanding the questions. Mom; You know me better than anyone, with you by my side I know I won't be lost for long. Dark Angel; Thank you for your kind words. Eagle Scorpion; (are you by chance a fellow Scorpio like me?? lol) Thanks, its so nice to know that someone understands. Breathe; Sarah's lyrics have helped me understand more about myself than anything. Thank you so much for your awesome response. What I have written here came from the depths of my soul and my inner most personal thoughts (that I don't share often)....all of your responses really mean a lot. Thank you. |

I have always thought that Beth was these things. . . for I got that impression from her words. . . words of power and thought words that sought for answers. . . never giving up. . . always seeking. . . always learning. . . given to thoughts of intensity and heart. . . she kept looking. . . searching. . . for she seeks. . . like we all do. . . she seeks herself. . . wonderful Beth. . . really excellent. . . ----------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
