Paw Paw, you are sofa king Zen man! That's absolutely true, we are not what we think we are. We are infinitely more than that. I admire your spiritual conciousness, as well as your obscure humor. Rock on!
just when you think you know yourslef truly you learn something new i know i have being here on CS many have helped me see the light when i went to the dark side
A beggar had been sitting by the side of the road for over thirty years...One day a stranger walked by. "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, "I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then he asked: "What's that you're sitting on?" "Nothing, " replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I've been sitting on it for as long as I can remember. "Ever look inside?," asked the stranger. "No," said the beggar. "What's the point, there's nothing in there." "Have a look inside," insisted the stranger. The beggar, reluctantly, managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold.
I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere even closer: inside yourself.
I have been told enough times now that i am not fit to be anything to a man except his plaything...I am only what men fantasize about...is that supposed to be a compliment??
So then...I in fact am beginning to believe that i am a woman of no substance...that i am wrong and what they believe is true...there will be no pickett fence for me...no grandbabies to play with...no romance...no one to cuddle with...
I remain with my dusty corset...and moth eaten satin sheets...dreaming of another day another time...
Urs, I don't know who writes you what, but I certainly know better that you are a woman of substance. You are a sweet and caring individual, I could tell by the way you offered me some flat seven-up (or was it sprite?) and the way your eyes were sad when I took Cat to the airport.
For those that are unable to comprehend that you have some soul, well, they just aren't worth it.

" Baggage, every experience that we have had in our lives, all tucked away in a little suitcase...Goodness sakes, think that's a pretty special package. As it has all the ingredients that make us who we are today. Viewing everyone to be special in their own way..."
