I introduced myself when I joined and someone started a thread wondering why newbies found it necessary to introduce themselves!
I pointed out it was a category choice and as a newbie I was trying to fit in.
of course that lasted about five minutes.
Everyones should post when tfhey feel like posting.
Don't take it personally if you do not get a response, if you keep talking in various threads and are not rude and insulting eventually people will talk back.
Do not jump to conclusion that that someone has a) taken offense at your post b) is actually talking about you in their post.
Using the reply function in your postings does help a lot with misunderstandings, but it is not perfect...we all have bad days sometimes.
I have been here about a year now, and although there are times when things get out of control, I never stay anywhere that I am not having any fun.
So newbies, welcome and enjoy.
Old hands, thanks for being around.
and happy Eggs to All.
We fly kites on EasterSunday, major competition..I will try to get pix.
Thank you, I'm pleased you like it. I appreciate your feedsback. A couple of song writers have used a phrase or two of mine, but I would need a collaborator for songs.
Life turns on a dime most days, and gives no change but every now and then the changes ring a carillon above my head. so loud the dead themselves sit up, take note and start to talk. I write pretty words that sing of sunsets, paint the golden path of dawn, a tapestry of delicate delight that hides the bitter neatly in the sweet, enticing you to come and play, to wander in the gentle dreams, illusions that I give away and sometimes drown in when the bones of truth crush hard against the endless moment I inhabit Sweet echoes of mortality are drumming on the anvils in my head and somewhere, buried deep I find there is a yes and no a stop and go,a walk, don’t walk all dancing their duality across the single page I write on. The sound of one hand clapping is heard by just one ear and only one eye burns with just one tear.
light seeps around the edges of the morning stroking all the colour back to life; flowers bloom anew, leaves green into curving silhouettes imprinted on the clouds that relinquish grey for pink, for gilt-edged whites that echo bougainvillia, clotted cream just waiting to be tasted by the iridescent gleam on fevered wings, small scimitar of beak buried deep in nectar slight ripple of the petals as the airborne oil slick shifts, now up, now down the rainbow on the surface of its feathers echoed in each dew drop misted in the grass
I may have seen it as i skimmed the threads. it is often a word or phrase i read in passing that starts the process for me, when i know the trigger I mention it.
lonely is moment when your heart trips on the one who is not there when even if you hated him you wonder.. was it as bad as this? This endless dark that has forever for a flavour? Oh this is worse by far... and then your heart picks up the beat and sings songs with echoes from the promise of tomorrow that speak of dawn of sunlight, tunnel's end and you listen, nod, remember that it was that bad, and you are glad to leave the past behind to crumble dust to dust.
If I knew the answer to this I would be moving mountains and taking up alchemy!
If energy can be neither created or destroyed we exist in a very large yet finite and mutable Universe. If creation is possible we may be in a very small part of an infinite Universe.
I don't know the answer to this either, but the questions are fascinating.
I lean towards the theory that we manifest (sometimes rather ineptly and unintentionally) all the facets of our lives. Creators without a 'how-to manual. I am currently working on dissassembling something.
Or am I just a figment of somone else's imagination?
So following right along...education coming from the latin 'e ducere' to lead out in the sense of retrieving knowledge intrinsic to us...
is that knowledge merely information stored within our cells or are we in fact imbued with actual elements of the superconsciouness? If superconciousness is part of us (if a somewhat sleepy part)... rather chicken and egg isn't it?
Why separate the artistic? Where we frequently manifest 'that which never was'. Surely it is a matter of scale?
(I just had a dizzying vision of the Universe being an animated art project in some rather large being's studio!)
One discussion I got into on the subject came to a grinding halt when I said "If we are made in the creator's image wouldn't that make us creators too?"
