Where does belief begin? Does it flash in the frantic rush of a youthful smile? Can it surge into existence in the hard wet clutching thrusts of passion? Can it be stolen, retrieved by a sneak thief slithering away in between dreams of false security? What I share I share in honesty, but not all awareness travels freely to be gifted without prize, like freedom’s pearls a promise between lovers, broken, is a debt unyielding that must be paid; the timing of the lives, the convenience or the consequence, is the lesser question. ©2005 by icebox |

First let me say what I said when I saw you here (finally) "YAY IT'S YOU!"  and now I'll say the first thought I had after reading, "Some would say the pre-frontal lobe..." That wouldn't explain where it ends tho, and endings seem to be all I have left. *hugs again* I am always so happy to read you.  |

hey icey, belief has been stolen so many times, I have found myself questioning trust. The only thing I can really trust, oddly enough, is not my instinct, but my heart. They quarrel so much . . . |

"a promise between lovers, broken, is a debt unyielding that must be paid; the timing of the lives, the convenience or the consequence, is the lesser question." For me, there is no question. But even so, one cannot make it right by him/herself --- it takes both to come to that clarity at the same time....the convenience. The consequence of not acknowledging and repaying....that I do not know, but I fear it would mean a definite repeat, until we get it right. Or, Charly, ....... could we repay by truely "loving" outside of ourselves...becoming a rose? Much to ponder. *hugs*....jo |

icebox - good to see you here again. A searcher always needs a quest like another's thought to think about ... and I'm thinking. Thank you! |

wanted to quote the entire writing..  and that isn't much of a surprise..I know I have told you so many times before how much I love your deeply moving, thought provoking writings...but I always feel the need to repeat myself...you are a pureness to read... love you Icy!"too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Icebox...It's good to see you posting! Belief is born from bone and is as diaphanous as breath, yet as sure that it can build a castle stone by stone of river rock as it can whistle from a puckered five year old.)  |

I'm either really emotional or...oh, forget it. I loved it. |
