Solitary Confinement Copyright 1990 by: Mark V Sheldon Participants In a Commodity Known as Life: A brief moment In an ever-changing Process Where The light of day Succumbs To A shroud of mystery As Time Progresses into Twilight. Another form Of progression: From The facade Of an exterior image To the interior Of an altogether Different world -- That of the mind Where Images Take a different meaning, Where Light Is not necessarily The same As it is Outside... A form Of darkness Can envelop The so-called Familiarity Of place and time, Creating A discrepancy Between the Accustomed And the Unacquainted... A comparison Between Accepted knowledge And Questioning curiosity Where Normal boundaries No longer Apply, And the only Limit To the Completion Of a New reality Is that of Imagination. Objects And Circumstances Acquire New definitions Relating to Perspectives Of Others than ourselves. Views and concerns Which may reflect Ones felt Or Those never experienced. The only true confinement Is That which is imposed By one's self. New horizons Exist As long as there is Courage To pursue them. The path And Pace Are set by Those who participate In The commodity Known As Life. You CAN make a difference: |

LeeJ, I thought you might appreciate this one -- it was the only one that came to mind that reminded me of your style, so I reposted it for you. And thank you for the purusal, Raph. KristieSue, I'm glad you enjoyed (this write "saved my hide" when I was in film school and my student film came back 80% under exposed... but that's a different story...  ).Thanks Eric. -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

 (giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, I love the little story you hinted out in your thank-you response of your film being 80% under-exposed, sweet friend, this had me going back to reading it a second time and I really enjoyed it much more! (big hugggsssssss) Sometimes it is more enjoyable to cherish images that aren't quite so visible, sweet friend, just to use your imagination and fill in the final details, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Mark, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Yes Noah -- truly a moment for the archives... I ended up "channeling" this entire write the evening before I had to showcase my film which was this side of unsalvagable, and this write served as a "Rod Serlingesque" monologue recited in somber voice through a very large reverb, played on cassette to accompany the tragic excuse of an edited super-8 film project. The punchline is that the class got all intellectual and analytical with it when I knew it was a P.O.S., but I chuckled and let them at it... Ahhh... scholastic memories... -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

KristieSue: Indeed, a memorable one of many... Kacy: I guess it's all in the POV... -MVS You CAN make a difference: |
