Your writing has sparked an curiosity in me... Can you describe the thoughts that attribute to "Belief"? Susan The words are a bit of a flighty thing Fleeting emotion is probably the coldest description Futility is probably another one Resulting to alternatives in the mind is a third Self-Justification is another A mental blending of "others have been here before" is another An inability to communicate is obviously there Freedom from everything - escaping into nothing and nothing means you fear nothing is another The idea that "I'm flying on a jet plane" dont know when "I'll be back" again o'hhh "Lord", 'I hate to go' The reality of thought when a warm bed was there and a cold station is really there. Finally leaving and never arriving and always threw (intential wording) others Learning But understanding that only in ignorance do you strive With nothing but survival and belief that you still have the ability, the drive, the intelligence to make the one "inch" step without ever knowing or caring beyond that. Bleeding almost dripping heart echoed emotion that never sought nor caused but images Weeds grow trampled to fill beneath stones feeding insects and birds Asphalt steaming melting as a drunken road layer's evening of respite Honesty echoing forlorn in a late morning's light of a night exploring doubt and feeling A drunk picks at ideas in a depth of mind only another drunk can understand to stagger subjects A dark path on a route hitched to air that walks and origins and destinations A seat on a closed station for a re-routed train that left to make it's next stop minus passengers and care Moments emphasing self emboldened in belief Of belief That only in ignorance started belief Without belief ever as a target |

quote: Your ponderings are interesting, dear Bodger. The above line is especially wise, imo. To believe means that we trust that something is true ... and I believe that you have a big, sensitive heart! Btw, where is Susan? Love, Margherita |
