Hi There! Last night for something to do, as I was feeling a little lonely myself, I just talked to people I did not know on Yahoo messenger. I met three people that were shut-ins and their life revolved around their computer. One was a Vietnam Vet, very intelligent, and that is all he does is talk to people and record where there live on his map. One had agoraphobia, and was so lonely and loved poetry, so I sent her a lot of poems from here. One was blind so I sent him a lot of music files and he loved them. They all thanked me for taking the time to talk to them, so I wrote this that I wanted to share with you. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~* Ever Take Time To Talk To Talk To A Stranger? *~ |

ya know, when I'm out shopping or something, strangers talk to me quite often, and I never ignore them, I always try to be kind. Even if it's as simple as hello and a smile. You never know how that kindness will effect them, it might be just what they needed. I like this very much. Very heart-felt ![]() |

What lovely thoughts here. We can never have too many friends in life. And everyone we may now call friend, was a stranger to us once. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

When Mysteria speaks flowers bloom angels sing the cold feel warm the sad smile and LOVE runs swiftly around the earth from page to page from heart to heart from screen to screen from SEA to SUNSHINE, and even the MIDNITESUN. THANKS |

You never know when a smile will brighten someone's day. Sometimes just asking a stranger how their day is going does them good. Thank you for your wonderful words. |

Smitten Kitten ~ A smile can melt the coldest heart, good for you! Midnitesun ~ How absolutely beautiful that response was, I kept it in my library, no THANK you. Sinister Handed ~ You have that right, and what a inexpensive way to feel good, instead of chemicals and it works way faster too! Thanks for reading. |

Thank you JamesMichael, but I want to mention that one has always got to take caution in talking to strangers too. I simply meant share a smile, or talk on the computer - not go up and start a full conversation - they may think you are a tad off ![]() |

Strangers Do you see them, I know I do, since they’re lingering in shadows, The hiding ones, locked out or behind windows, Do you know them, No, not one name, I never ask what who or why, Perhaps weather, the shapes of clouds in the sky, I greet all them, Some will answer, the ones that happen to be near, Ones still with us, some are too lost and can not hear, Befriending them, The almost lost, hanging on to a fragile reality, When I’m passing, I stop at all the soul flowers I see.

Gloom - that was a fantastic poem, with "heart", thank you. ~Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self~ Cyril Connolly |
