Faces Of Emptiness
The initial title I gave this piece was "Soulessness" which refers to a lack of sensitivity or the capacity for deep feeling. It focuses on deep emptiness which stifles the soul. This may be the outcome of factors other than loneliness. I am re-titling it "Faces of Emptiness".

Life and Reality
Poetic Prose I wrote this piece after reading a comparison of the eastern and western perspectives, by D.T. Suzuki, a Zen Buddhist, on a similar phenomenon. A Japanese haiku poet, Basho, was walking along a country road when he noticed a wildflower blooming by the hedge. Tennyson, an English poet, observed a flower growing in a crevice in a wall. There is a marked contrast in their reactions. Basho observes the flower, as it is, in its full beauty and composes a haiku to express his feeling. Tennyson, plucks the flower and holds it in his hand in his attempt to 'understand' it. Basho sees the 'living' flower and feels its essence as a living thing. He 'becomes' the flower. Tennyson 'kills' the flower thereby seeking to understand a 'dead' flower, devoid of life. "Life and a living being(thing) can never be separated".

INESTIMABLE HEART
I believe God does at times have Angels intervene in His children's lives. Only, it may not become clear to us until years later.

Candy Cigarettes
Just thinking back to my childhood and some things that have gone away. I wonder sometimes if this smoking ban is worth it. Wouldn't people be happier if they didn't have to worry about everything they did could lead to cancer and death. I see the price they charge for cigarettes and I think it is legalized theft to charge 7 dollars for a box of cigarettes. I think there are 20 in a box, so that is 35 cents a cig. Bad or not, it is wrong to charge that much.
