The Human Experience 1I have been hearing from a lot of people lately about feeling lonely and unloved, about being unsure of relationships and of their own futures.  Fear and uncertainly are part of our growing experience and those experiences define who we are and how we relate to those around us.  “They” have told us that humans are social creatures, that it is in our nature to congregate into groups and to create societies.  Yet in these societies we alienate each other; become violent; try to shove a predefined “normality” onto others; and enforce our own personal sense of moral superiority, granted to us by religious doctrines, onto all t
You and the Arctic           Your heart is like an Arctic wasteland;
                           Cold and cruel.
       Your lack of emotion like frostbitten limbs;
                  Completely void of feeling.
        Yet even the Arctic has its own beauty,
                     And you; No different.
       People drawn to the Northern extremes;
                            And I to you.
     For no apparent reason, except to survive
                    A merciless encounter.
  There is something about that cold, Arctic land,
        And yourself, that keeps the fire inside
                               --ablaze.
        And I, like o
The Human Experience 2I once referred to a creative writing group as a bunch of self-absorbed ego-stroking fools.  I meant every word of it. Let me explain:

Not all people can take criticism well and many cannot take it at all.  Whether we are talking about their writing, their work, their fashion sense, or decisions they make in their love lives, having people say that a choice is wrong or ill conceived is usually taken badly.  I am not a teacher of life but also, I am considerably more than a mere student.  I will start by saying that perfection does not exist.  Not in any subject or in any way.  In finding or creating what we perceive as perfect, we find that
To BelieveTo believe in something
                     is to honour it
       Like friends and peace and sunsets.
            Each alone means little
            but mixed with life
                     form the basis of what we call
            reality.

       Some people believe in different things
            than those (mentioned above).
       That doesn't mean they are wrong
                     -only have a different reality.

       I believe in an individual who has
            his own reality
                and wants so much to share it
                but doesn't know how.

       The individual is me, the friend
Bridging a Gap Bridging A Gap

               There is nothing between us
               The gap grows to a chasm
               We are both alone
                          on opposite sides
          Look Down.

This was my Duncan the day after I got him. He chose this corner of the front coat closet as his preferred sleeping place. This was early 2002.

Dogs always chose akward places to sleep, guess its the corners make them feel safe~

It does have that effect if your sort of boxed in XD

They grow up so fast. Hard to believe he is 8 now. The time just flew by. I lived with a bunch of friends in those days. Now there is just me and Duncan. He misses the constant attention.
