Hi, This is the most wisdom filled statement I think I have ever heard, perfection Sven. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

It's been awhile since I've been to Passions and the first poem I go for in Open12 was yours. And yet again, I make another winning decision. So simply put, and so sadly true. Missed ya, Sven! "Hearts will become practical when they make them unbreakable" ~The Wizard of Oz Much love all, Krissie |

Oh yes. You can never hide from yourself. Well said. Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

wow. . . you go away for a day. . . thank you all my friends. . . I'm glad that I could make you all think. . . and yes, unfortunately it's true. . . and we do lie to ourselves sometimes. . . but, to truly grow. . . this is what we must do. . . thank you all again. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

Sven dear heart why didn't I see this earlier, obviously wasn't being as observant because I've only just seen this. And as always dear heart, you have hit the nail squarely on the head. Wonderful write, now I'm always honest, sometimes a little too honest.  Yes I know not a drop of guile or even a lot of tact. Really truly another gem to be kept in my library, to be read frequently. Absoulutely first class piece. And now I've got to go my dessert is arriving. Isn't it amazing what you can do in between courses, well, if there's a laptop handy love Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Its funny how I always know this, but when its hard to figure something out for myself, it always comes as a surprise that I can't admit something. Geesh...Thanks for reminding me! *Jenn* |

Me too Sven...I am amazed at some of the thoughts I find myself thinking...for example I am telling one special woman I love her and then I find myself talking to other women and saying things that have me contradicting my previous thoughts...only speaking of temptations...they always seem the strongest when you are closest to committing to another...not sure if thats just me or everyone...James |
