The Trouble With Magic I know magic passwords, could say 'em, you know, like I'd flip on a flashlight and shine it just so over any old distance, see what's there, maybe more, view what isn't and maybe was never before; even do what I can't or be what I couldn't; yes, perhaps even do a few things that I shouldn't, or hurt someone by accident and never dread it until it's too late, and I've already said it....

 (big hugggssssss) You know what they say, curiosity killed the kitten and sometimes you just shouldn't try hacking for the password or sometimes you may reverse your own course of time and regrets come slapping you in the face! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ed, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Now that you have poured this out ... you'll never do it. Poetry saves you. Magical "insights". Margherita |

Ed...Magic from people with good hearts, like yours...makes good things happen.  The spilling of unintentional hurt can be fixed with an I'm sorry, usually. JMHO Your poem is thoughtful and made me think about what you were trying to say...always a good thing.[This message has been edited by Martie (03-08-2003 09:55 PM).] |

Well.... as a rule I would be more confident of my ability to hunt kangaroo with a boomerang than of saying important things the right way or at the right time. I may be a poet, but I have vast experience in stepping on my own tongue at exactly the wrong moment....and after all I am pretty good with a 'rang. The wooden kind that is; I mainly hit myself with the verbal kind! But this little riddle came to be just as I described it -- playing with words and phrases on a borrowed computer while mine's in the shop, and the most interesting thing on TV is war-war-war.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Why it's a simple magic! Everyone can use it -- and should. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
