"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Monsters, they eat
Your kind of meat
And they're moving as far as they can
And as fast as they can

Hey, even the cup-bearer of the gods is higher than mere mortals. Hands off the plebe.
On the other hand, I'd be happy to pour your drink myself. I make a mean slippery nipple, if I do say so myself.

While the story I intend to stick to here is that have no idea what Syl is talking about...my reference to being tinted an Elphaba shade has to do with the color used to denote mods in the list of users at the bottom of the main page.

I appreciate and respect your owning up, BBF. I disliked the tone of some of your posts but whatever growing up I thought you probably had to do, you are doing it. Well done. It isn't easy to say sorry.
Remember that you and I represent not just our authentic or fabricated selves here, but Jesus. We're supposed to be known for love, not venom.

Let us now Palaver from now until Palaver about the wonders and complexities we know of the dream worlds beyond the beyond. Do they hold more than the intricate details on the universe? How fare can you take your own 'magination holdings without losing site of the shore? I do not believe we need the shore anymore
at least not on here! I believe all of you (for one obvious raisin) can understand the prelcusion of my actions to be closely related and hierarchically closely to a book we hold deer(sacred dear).
Love you,

You know it's been said that most conversations are "dialogues of the deaf."
But sometimes these things get ridiculous!
Do you really make a choice, have an impact, have an influence?
Isn't effect supposed to follow cause?

Isn't that the way of a Sovereign Author?

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

I See You
I see you
I see you
Walking through a dream
I see you
My light in darkness breathing hope of new life
Now I live through you and you through me
Enchanting
I pray in my heart that this dream never ends
I see me through your eyes
Living through life flying high
Your life shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
I live through your love
You teach me how to see
All that’s beautiful
My senses touch your word I never pictured
Now I give my hope to you
I surrender
I pray in my heart that this world never ends
I see me through your eyes
Living through life flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life
I offer my love, for you
When my heart was never open
(and my spirit never free)
To the world that you have shown me
But my eyes could not division
All the colours of love and of life ever more
Evermore
(I see me through your eyes)
I see me through your eyes
(Living through life flying high)
Flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
And live through your love
And live through your life
I see you
I see you

I am not she.

when you swap the gender
and negate the not.
Do you know Who spoke the original line?)
for most worship is dangerous;
although the truth is close to blasphemous.
humans balance on an knife-edge;
mere human hands are not help
for those who fall off that ledge.

Basically, no; you don't see me, or anyone else quite as we are;
You see the illusion I project forth; but you already know this.
But what can we do?
At least, Someone actually sees us; one day we hope to know Him even as we are already known.
Good times, those will be, save we find ourselves where we want to be that Day.
"Even my darkness is not dark to [Him]."
(and some days there's soo much darkness I can't see my own lousy feet!)
Running to the uttermost parts of the sea?
...you won't outrun Him; I read that even if I make my bed in Sheol, even there... He can find me.
(some days, knowing that helps; more than just about anything.)

And I didn't make that image, (Edge made it back when the Watch was younger), but it is mine. It's a stylised eye of Horus, that I have tattooed on myself, (a friend designed it for me even more years ago), and Edge used it to create the avatar.I switched back to it after I shaved the mohawk.
