Hi Jane...

Kathy,

Thanks for the comment. What I am really trying to say here, in this poem, is that we are all leaves on the same tree. Despite the obvious external appearance of our gender. I am also saying that each and every one of us, has both male, and female, components to our psyche. Of course, also, opposites attract....

Jane

I must maintain some mystique here..

Also, this is a poem about reincarnation

Redex,

Of course everyone is entitled to their own beliefs/teachings etc;- in this largely confused World.

The only question I would like to put to you is this: Which do you think is the most likely?.. that we spontaneously arise out of "nothing" (in all of our variety, contradictions, inclinations, talents, and complexity) and then somehow go back to "nothing" (when we "die")...or that we are on a continuum? That is to say, that we, (our energy, and our unique "essence") came from somewhere, and is going somewhere. For me, this seems much more likely; although, it took me quite a few years to realize this; and come to this conclusion.

Thanks for the comment Redex. As you say, whatever helps one lead a peaceful life. Wise words indeed.

I've seen some pretty girls in my time. All I know is, beautiful women ski.

Thanks for the comment,..., a form of communication, which is the same in all languages..
