From above, the words of his sermons slid down the side of a self made temple mount Gathering speed as they spun a giant snowball into the valley below Crushing the perfect kingdom he tried to make for himself Self proclaimed martyr without the crucifixion but I'll hold the nails in case he changes his mind [This message has been edited by Aenimal (12-17-2002 02:47 AM).] |

Yeah I figured this would strike a cord with a few people, it was a toss up as to who i'd right this for my mom or dad but when i came to the nailing part the choice was made. write that counterpart. |

I don't know how you did it, but I love the way you used these words and brought the thought together. |

Raph, when you write, you are so "matter-of-fact" about everything. Based on some of your comments here and other places, I don't think you're as old as some think you are.......in years that is. But, in wisdom you are very mature. You have an insight that a lot of people don't have. I think your work is interesting, as well as the writer. Were you born with a lot of wisdom, or did it come through experiences in your life or those around you? (BTW, you don't have to answer that question if you don't want to. I was just writing what I was thinking). Anyway, to sum it all up, I do like the way you write. The reader feels very much emotion because you write from your own feelings from your heart.... Thank you for sharing.... "Love makes the world go around" |

Ethel First of all thank you SSSOOO much for such a nice compliment. I think the only true wisdom is gained through experience and with that said, yes I've had way too many experiences to draw from. Insight comes from listening, I think alot of us talk but rarely listen, I've tried to listen more and hearing what people say has given me whatever insight I may have. Also I have a ferocious appetite for reading, more so when i was younger. But in constantly reading or researching I always try to stay aware. Thanks Marshalzu I appreciate the kind words [This message has been edited by Aenimal (12-17-2002 07:48 PM).] |
