Note: Not an indictment of belief or religion, just a need in us for a new one --------------------------------------------------- Magnifying glass shadow looming large burning guilt into faithful plastic soldiers I refuse the march I will not stand in shame under lamp interrogated before a creator who remains unseen Nails driven through heart to tree a foundation rejecting a heaven of empty promise For one of our own making [This message has been edited by littlewing (03-31-2003 11:58 PM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Raphael and Sue, you two speak with such truth, I am not going tomarch in favor of such a war either when He is being left out of the picture or wrongfully seized, seems the whole notion of forgiveness and turning the other cheek is tarnished with this meaningless battalion! (sad sigh) Bravo to both of you, God Bless You two, we all love you both so much! You have such beautiful hearts, sweet Sue and Raphael, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah - thank you so much for your kind words - I do agree with your perspective but our writing is based upon the need for spirituality - I like your spin on it regarding the current war situation - is enlightening TY . . . xxoo Kacy TY - you got in there while I was editing xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (03-31-2003 11:59 PM).] |

well done, and aren't all religions off- shoots today of another... We have so many churches in this small town at least 7 in a 3 mile range and every so many years another group is dissatisfied, breaks away and begins a new one... M |

Sue and Raphey, it was good to see a duet with the talented words of the two of you together. The thoughts and feelings of both of you are very interesting. And yes, "religion" and "man-made ideas" of it can get very confusing. It's God's ideas that count. Right? Heart Hugs, Ethel |

Great duet--and duo! Let me know when you have come up with something. I'll check it out! I've been baptized in 3 different churches and am currently a free spirit! I'm still searching--but I do believe I have found the answers to many of my questions--and they have come from within!---or I channeled them! LOL Blessings to you both! Linda |

Ethel who can say what god's ideas are? Only god. It's about spirituality not about sets of rules and dogma Linda I'll keep you posted but then I think you're doing quite well on your own |

I agree with the others. This poem is very well-written in clarity and truth. I may not agree with your version of Heaven; but your writing skills almost made me a believer. ***Ivy Rose |
