Ah, then that is your downfall, most eloquent BE.

I would rather turn to life
Thrumming all around me
and now...

"sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font;
The firefly wakens, waken thou with me.

Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost,
And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.

Now lies the Earth all Danae to the stars,
And all thy heart lies open unto me.

Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves
A shining furrow, as thy thoughts, in me.

Now folds the lily all her sweetness up,
And slips into the bosom of the lake.
So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip
Into my bosom and be lost in me."

- Tennyson

Shall I gift my love
With little kisses on
The petals of your eyes
And shall we hide within
The mysts that lie, warm,
And still
Between the bow and string?

the Archer nocks the bow
and gathers taut the string.

between bow and string
Life awaits, quivering
all potential of being.

Edges of abysses
Heights of heavens
Rhythms of kisses
Fluttering on wings of bees.

taking aim, the arrow releases
finding true the mark.
Life dies a thousand deaths
and gets born again a thousand more.

Chaos, order
Order, Chaos
Moments, only moments
and Life shudders Becoming.

A wonderful, poetic duet between you and BE. I love it.

The possibilities of the metaphor are endless.. From bows and arrows, to the lacing of a shoe, to a Boxing Day surprise. But that author had in mind the points and hollows given life by the wand drawn across the sinews of a cello.

'Tis the same...

All of it.

I'm bloody drunk on it.

It's called respect. That's all. If you can't dig that, don't come into the house and do stop with the mealy mouth shit. Be the bigger man that you can be.

Strength doesn't come from flipping people off.
Have you no heart?!! Even after Doc proved he was considered decent, by none less than the inventors of Christinsanity, the Lutherans, you persist in persecuting this poor misunderstood Punchinello. Why? :(
Ah, no. I have persisted in one post to you the explanation of respect and to ask you kindly to stop the mealy mouthed shit on my thread which has to do with consciousness. If you wish to raise consciousness about your opinion on Doc, please kindly open up a thread on that and expound all you like. Also, read back on that Intro/Doc thread and you will find I welcomed him warmly after pointing out that Pigeon was correct in asking Doc to show some respect by not cursing at people. I have nothing else to say on this.
Alas, poor Doc! I knew him, Harpy, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. :(
