it is me that thank you
c'est moi qui vous remercie
mae'n mi ddiolch 'ch

indeed its a privilege to know a poet like you, thru your words.

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithlessand therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.


I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Sounds very much like this poem Livinthedream. Are you taking credit for something you didn't write?

I never said i wrote it

i asked if it touched your centre??

if people say they like it i am polite to thank them

would you not respond out of politeness

People were giving you credit for writing it and you know it. You did not let it be known that you didn't write it. It is copyrighted so what you did is actually not legal. But nice try LTD. Nice try...

Good work Miss V.

...and I agree. Blogger should have definitely noted it was not her work. Or she should have used quotations. OR at the VERY least, not taken all the compliment for it!




Where is your integrity?

Don't really agree, think Living The Dream just thanked everyone for responding and appreciating what she had posted. The only person who knows for sure is Living The Dream, for that reason not sure questioning someones integrity is right. Enjoy the blogs but sadly come across too many negative people who are extremely brave sat behind a keyboard.

The answer to your question is no, and thanks for proving my point.

Bunnyman, I think you'd make a good public servant.

So much anger and bitterness, sort yourself out.

So much stupidity. Sorry, there is no cure for it at your age.


If you can't see what she did is wrong and was NOT a mistake, you really are not very bright.

bunnyboy, I know why you "risk" your life and then remind me of it. Shame on you too. For all the wrong reasons.

Blogger, how could you accept compliments for the poem when you never wrote it.


Yes, perfect couple.

I'll leave you two alone now.

So many issues, i hope you one day address them for your own sake.

Hey, give a new blogger a break please

I have explained

I have apologised

What do you want??? blood????????

In my native language, i was not taught that about writing, you seem to have the advantage on that knowledge.

As for the personnal comments, " my boyfriend" I do not know bunnymen, never spoke to him b4, until this blog, and feel they are uncalled for

Maybe I should leave the blogs, it seems to be a closed shop, and the hostility to one not so knowledged is not nice

Don't let it get to ya Livin. You made an error, you apologized and that should be it.

The certain miscreant giving you a hard time here has absolutely no credibility and should not be taken seriously.

Stick around, keep blogging and have fun.

The good fella from OZ is right, look forward to reading your future blogs.

thank you billyfatwas for your kind words

thank you again Bunnymen, making a habit of this thank you biss lol

Showing ya true colours now.

You really are a basket case.

I really feel LTD deliberately tried to pass this off as her own creation. It is a rather obscure poem that perhaps only new age types like me would recognize. Anyway, it is common for someone caught in a lie on CS to claim "english is not my first language" as an excuse. She seems to write English nearly flawlessly though. Does France not have copyright laws?

At any rate, it really doesn't matter to me if you want to lie, LTD. I just don't feel compelled to keep quiet about my knowledge of it.

I'm wishing like hell I hadn't made my initial comment. Didn't think it was going to blow up to be some big deal like it has.

I was going to suggest to Livin to delete the blog..... until Mummy's Boy came up with his dummy spit.

Now I want the whole world to see it.

lol. Oh billy.

Billy

It's ok billy...

Maybe we can just agree to disagree.

Yes, it is obvious that you feel like a victim and feel guilty. Otherwise these comments never could have manifested on your blog or in your reality. So, what I think about you is none of your business. But, there are no accidents and no coincidences and everything that comes into our lives is an opportunity for us to learn something about ourselves.

If I am mistaken then I apologize.

Venusruled

I do not feel guilty, I knowingly did nothing wrong!!

i accept your apology and hope to move on from this now
