. ... I am temporarily in shut-down mode, for good reason. To jump to conclusions about what that reason might be is about the worst thing a person can do. Just accept that the answer to this question can only be experienced, and cannot be understood via printed words and jumping to conclusions. Jumping to unwarranted conclusions is the epitome of uncompassionate disdain. I Totally Understand,Abra..... Going thru one of life's greatest trials, myself. I perceive many others are going thru the same..... But I also have great Peace in the midst of the Storm.... May That Same Peace Be With You All Here,Too |

<<<<....I exercise a lot. Usually six days a week.... It keeps me healthy, and it gives me the time I need to clear my head and keep my day in the proper perspective. I love nature and the outdoors. A lot of my exercise is done outdoors, I like to hike..... I enjoy long walks in the woods. always makes my soul feel good. I have two cats. I love animals in general. My cats are my boys. they are very mischievous. Hours of endless entertainment. An unconditional love which is rarely matched by any human I have ever met.....>>>>>>>> ~~~~~~~~ You just described me in your posts! Except I have 2 dogs instead of cats, and they both think they are human!! My dogs try to "communicate " thru dooogie barks, and I'm learning to understand the different meanings behind their "bark talk " quite well ,actually.... and our four legged friends understand us more than we realize .. flowerforyou: |

Yes! Exactly! And I think that’s the part a lot of people don’t seem to get. They think that just because you have your sails battened down that implies that you can’t handle the storm. What they fail to understand it that any good sailor would batten down the sails in that situation. That’s precisely how a wise sailor negotiates a storm. And even the storms themselves should not be viewed as unnatural events, because they are quite natural. They come with the sea. |

Hello everyone
what a wonderful post this is turning out to be. Sorry I wasn't able to communicate with everyone during the day. I work third shift so I sleep for much of the daytime hours. It is easier for me to get online at night. I couldn't believe the response when I checked on this thread. The talent that everyone displays and how much everyone seems to care for one anouther is incredible. Jeannie your painting a beautiful an incredible talent. I wish you the best with your websites. I have no doubt you will be a success. Feralcatlady. The amount of work you do with animals and with your church is incredible. I truely admire how much you give of yourself. If everyone could give of themselves just a fraction of what you give of yourself the world would be a much better place. Lurchs_sister. I am so sorry you had to leave your animals behind but I am glad they are safe. I have two cats of my own and I don't know what I would do without them. LAMom. I have read much of your poetry it is so well written. I wish I had that talent. truely a gift. Abracadabra. Very nice poem. please keep writing. I will do my best to not make any judgement of you or misinterpret your words. As for the rest Creativesoul, Artgurl, Michiganman3, Armdoc4u, wouldee, Jess642, yzrabbit1, Britty, jman69, Guidehenri, wardriverj, and Morningsong. I very much look forward to talking to and getting to know you all. Such beautiful people and so many wonderful personalities. Very happy to be here. Thank you all Livelife |

Popping in because ---- well quite frankly, cause I can. Way cool idea, feral! Hello by the way.
Different Kind of Wench - more appropriately named than I initially realized. I feel deeply and intensely, loyal as a bluetick hound or any other type of canine when I finally give in to the attachment (although I will try to fight attachment), yet independent as a cat. If its paranormal, weird and/or freaky to whatever normal is ---- ooooo, sign me up - I wanna learn all I can about it. In the world of gamers, chaotic neutral would describe me best. If a person can be both ends of a pole at once - there ya go - me...... Nice to see y'all, Later...... |

My cats try to "communicate" thru cat meows and I am also learning to understand them quite well. And yes they do understand us more than we realize. One of my cats almost barks like a dog, and if he has a toy in his mouth and I try to pull it away he will growl, pull back and shake his head trying to get me to let go. I love dogs as well, I always had dogs when I was a kid and never cats. It had to do with my father a lot he just liked dogs better than cats. I would love to have a dog now I just don't have the time to dedicate to one. It wouldn't be fair to the dog so I live without for now but as soon as time allows I will get one or two or...who knows where it will end. |

Wow.....There are definitely Gifted people on this JSH site!!!! Abra...just read your poem..........AWESOME!!! Jeeniebeanne ....just took a peek at your Art..... WOW!! I noticed especially in your portraits, how You capture the essence of one's personality ... In fact, Jeannie.... all your Art is some of the BEST I've seen !! flowerforyou: Gosh...I bet this place is filled with Gifted People !!! Actually, God Made All of Us To Be Gifted in One Way or Another.....Amen? God Bless You All Here.... I don't consider my art a gift because I didn't really have the talent for it. I just had a burning desire to do it and became obsessed to learn... went through lots of pain and agony in the process. I have met people who really did have a gift for it and could do it almost naturally it seemed, and yet they did not have as much passion for it as I did. Now it comes very natural to me, like reading and writing. I believe that anyone can learn to draw and paint if they want to bad enough. But ... it takes LOTS of practice, more for some than others. If I go too long without painting a sadness swells up inside of my soul, a longing.. and I have to paint something. Then my soul dances once again. |

I would like to extend an invitation to all of you to read one of my poems in the poetry room... it is called God Has Truely Blessed Me. I wrote this eysterday about a man several of us know here and would really appreciate your thoughts on it. Your poem is excellent. I have a couple of friends who I have very similar feelings for. thanks for sharing. |

I’m the ghost of shattered dreams a phantom of the past the spirit dwells within me and in its love I bask The outside world is broken with uncompassionate disdain so in the arms of deities is where I shall remain Everything I do and say is unfulfilled of fervor I forfeit my participation to become a mere observer I bide my time in silly rhyme as I hunger for expression but no one truly understands they always get the wrong impression Clearly they can never see the footsteps of my path all the love I’ve ever known they imagine it as wrath They have no clue of what I say or what is in my soul Their vision has been muddled by conclusions they extol The excommunication of that which I refer is not a chosen path of mine nor one that I prefer It's forced upon my being by those who fail to see beyond their silly biases of redefining me Abra (3/12/08) Although this poem came from my soul it was also inspired by Jess, Artgurl, Anoasis, Invisible, Jax, DamnitsCloudy, CreativeSoul, Reverend Rabbit, ChubbyCherubPoet, S1owhand, Kid@Heart, Voileazur, Kat, Miguel, Redykeulous, and many others who aren’t Ridiculous but who have momentarily escaped my instantaneous thoughts. Just as a side note, all the poem really means is that it would be impossible for me to convey who I am via a post. The only way to know me is to share life’s experience with me in the real world, not in the symbolic printed world of cyberspace. I am temporarily in shut-down mode, for good reason. To jump to conclusions about what that reason might be is about the worst thing a person can do. Just accept that the answer to this question can only be experienced, and cannot be understood via printed words and jumping to conclusions. Jumping to unwarranted conclusions is the epitome of uncompassionate disdain. I see you... I feel you... that which resides in you.... is reflected pristinely to me... and for that... I will always love the Who of you James. You remind me of what it is, I aspire to be. |

I see you... I feel you... that which resides in you.... is reflected pristinely to me... and for that... I will always love the Who of you James. You remind me of what it is, I aspire to be. Because you are always talking about unlearning things, this one goes out to you! ~ Unlearned Shame ~ When I was just a little boy I dreamed of a girl like you someone I could play with and romantically pursue I’d pick for you some daisies and place them in a flask then hand them to you bashfully just before I ask,… Will you be my girlfriend? May I be your beau? Can we share this life together and help each other grow? You would smile and say to me “Our life will be such bliss” and then you’d really make my day as you present me with a kiss My arms would wrap around you to embrace your awesome splendor and every fiber of your being would be screaming to surrender We’d gaze into each other’s eyes Our impassioned souls intertwined Our spirits pooled in oneness Our thoughts become one mind Magnetism overwhelms our fleshy lips combine undulating osculations fervently divine Nothing could be better than the love we feel inside and both of us are innocent with no iniquity to hide But parent eyes observe our love and imagine sinful lust They run toward us yelling threats with anger and disgust! Our first encounter of truest love was decreed to be a sin! How dare we act on instinct from our spirit deep within! Bad, bad, bad, we are! for exhibiting our passion Now we’ll face our penalties and our freedom will be rationed Love is such a guilty sin how could we be so blind? Now we’re branded criminals and will forever be maligned! The love that’s deep within our hearts has been shamed into confusion and now we must unlearn disgrace or get a spiritual transfusion Abra (3/13/2008) (inspired by Jess Lee) |
