if these are all my words then why has my breathing stopped ohh my feet are hitting the pavement and I can feel every little pebble and I can smell every drop of gas o linnnneee ohh you know I like it that way you know I like to feel the electricity flowing up from my feet I'm standing in a puddle would you mind handing me that blow dryer sweetheart don't take it personal I haven't seen enough to make that personal ohh but I've heard enough the sky can keep falling and I can keep laughing told you so told you so told you so but hey, what's better than a society stocked full of ducktape it burns to rip it off but how would I know that? rip it like a bandaid rip it like a bandaid I've sold my train of thought to a boy on the street handing out dreams I thought he was real I thought it was true instant gra.ti.fi.ca.ti.on oh I'm sorry, did I hit too close to home you live in words you live in my words I wrote you I made you I can erase you it's the best gift I can give you but I'm good for nothing I can't even give you that |

Abstract but with a deeper meaning here...like you are the creator who create all of this flux...and can just as easily write anything in or out...a reversal of reality...inverted upon itself..you dont write reality..reality is written by you..interesting write..thank you.. Goldenrose. |

I love that you took the time to think about it. To me, in essence, it's supposed to be the contradiction, the creation and the destruction all in one. Writing reality, but where am I writing it. Or maybe, I just drink too much coffee. |

You possibly do drink to much coffee..but only you would know that ..when you say ''where'' are you writing it from, do you mean from what moment in time? What instant in time?...Buddhists have a good idea about placement in the great scheme of things..and they come down to the immutable fact of cause and effect...eg. if i said something derogatory to a man in the street, a total stranger, he would get upset, but his wife got more upset, so much so she punched me in the nose....But lets rewind a little..i brought this upon myself..by being derogatory to the man in the first place hence the cause and effect....it is kind of reap what you shall sow...but the buddhist thought is strengthened by adding the altruistic acts..and strict non violent actions..so unless a person does not like nice attention and thoughtful deed..they are in a win win situation and therefore their inner God is fed...if only all mankind was this way...

If we didn't have death, we wouldn't know life, dark to know light, etc. but where we are exactly in the scheme of creation is anybody's guess. And I too blame it all on the coffee - easier that way! Helen |
