Since feeling is first in loving... you risk beyond all other senses, abandon the realism to let the abstract touch you. Since feeling is first in passion... you give up reason, give way to a death to allow heaven to take you. Since feeling is first in remembering... you draw up stiff and tight, you pull a cloud down over the mind to shield the burning sun. Since feeling is first in living... you become careless, infatuated-saturated with adrenaline to help you move through the season. Since feeling is first in dying... you sit still like a moth on an unshaded wall absorbing until numb sets in.  ~ |

Very nice, Dixie! "Since feeling is first in remembering... you draw up stiff and tight," Yes, we do, don't we and it's because it hurts so very much. "Feeling" - could it be great pretender? I rely on it so much but perhaps it's just the Court Jester putting on a show the draw his audience of one out - you think? |

This, Dixie, is a keeper. You've gone beyond yourself to bring this back to us.  " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |
