...and dream that dream again. [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o<

Moments before the sun set on some kind of ancient wooden ship floating in a bay of calm waters, surrounded by lush mountains, I started singing to someone unknown, "If only I could sing...if only I could sing..." My voice was very weak, almost inaudible in such a large outdoor space. I was straining to sing louder when all of the sudden my voice started to pick up power, amplification. As I struggled to project my intentions outward, I felt my throat relax and a power overtook me. Another register up, "If only I could sing...I would save the world," and the last "sing" boomed out of me flooding this bay and echoing along the mountains, all of my vocal strength returning one hundred times over. Placing my whole heart and soul into those specific words, "If only I could sing, I would save the world," I believed with such empowerment I could...save the world.

That was some spiritual mojo going on there.

In tonight's dream, perhaps I'll sing of the how.
I AM OFFICIALLY IN HELL!

I live my philosophy, it's personal to me and people who engage where I live establish an unspoken dynamic, a relationship of sorts, with me and my philosophy.

Cutting folks for sport is a reality for the poor in spirit. I myself only cut the poor in spirit on Tues., Thurs., and every other Sat.

Hey Wendy, I just stumbled onto this thread.

"Please" doesn't sound like creative writing to me--it sounds more like a cry for help. (just like your sig.)

Or maybe I'm being too melodramatic (I love drama :D).

Who do you want to let you go? And why?

(Sorry, I haven't read the entirety of this thread--just the OP.)

...we hear about the wage gap, the idea that women are paid significantly less than men--seventy two cents on the dollar--that's absolute shear nonesense--it is absolute nonesense--in 147 out of 150 of the biggest cities in America, women make 8% more money than men do in their peer group. That wage gap is growing, not shrinking.

We're in a situation now where students can go to university and come out dumber than when they went in. They are infantalized by safe space and trigger warning culture, the idea that interogating a new idea, coming into contact with a school of thought or a person that doesn't conform to your prejudices is somehow problematic, that it gives rise to trauma.

Wendy, I think you have so much love in your heart, you don't get enough in return. I think you deplete yourself dry sometimes (I think :-? ).

How's your self-confidence? Do you feel more threatened by the world or just annoyed at it sometimes. Do you ever feel this gong show of a world can be entertaining? Fun?

While I do fear that we are approaching "closing time" at this bar called Earth life, I'm certainly annoyed by the lack of understanding most folks have on the purpose of their being here to begin with.

You may be right. Here, on Earth, is there ever enough? Love does not connect one moment to the next here.

Too fueled by frustration currently.

Congratulations, Wendy! You check out with a clean bill of health.

Being frustrated and angry at the world can be a sign of health. It means you've got fight within you, strength to resist. Fear and depression occur when you don't feel you have enough strength, when you start "caving".

Don't let the world get you too far down. Maybe take a break from your fight. Treat yourself to some "me" time more often.

Wendy, you crack me up. :lol: Okay, Platonic love it is. Still though, what's with this Tue/Thu/Sat nonsense? <-- I don't do schedules (sorry). But anytime you need some moral support or a pick-me-up, just PM me.

(I still feel this would be weird with Joker as your hubby).

What is it exactly, Wendy, that you are fighting for?


I'm a die hard altruist, what can I do?


You can begin by being an altruist toward yourself first. There is no selfishness in that.
Seeing your own needs ALSO, finding balance, taking a time out, can prepare you for whatever you feel your purpose is. Also, questioning why that purpose.

I don't think that "true" altruism forgets self to the point of destruction.
Selflessness doesn't necessarily mean losing Self.
“How can a bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?”
― William Blake


“Little Fly
Thy summers play,
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink & sing:
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength & breath:
And the want
Of thought is death;

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die”
― William Blake, Songs of Innocence and of Experience


“No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.”

(Reality isn't so kind. Everything doesn't work out the way you want it to. That's why...) As long as you don’t get your hopes up, you can take anything... You feel less pain.

(Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just two sides holding different views.)

What do you think? To tell you the truth... I worry too much about what others think of me. I hate that side of me... That's why I didn't want anyone to get to know me. I wanted to hide that side of myself. I hate it.
