.. the question has been raised..
.... Who am I.!.. well in that context..
... who are any of us...!. who are you.?..
.... what defines you..?..
.... what makes up ...that is! what goes into being you..?...hmm.... is it the sum of all your parts... are do you define yourself... identify with one part of yourself...hmm.... I believe we all have many.. Bits and parts that make up the whole of us.... you have your sense of fair play.. duty.. sense of family and friends... your value system.... then your sense of morality... the right and wrong.. Of something...

.... and then your sense of self.... how you perceive yourself.!.
. which is not always the same way.. others around you perceive you..

... sense of self.. the way you perceive yourself.. what you project out to others.. this I believe changes constantly.. hour to hour minute to minute to suit... your immediate needs... you can be harsh. and direct and stern at work... be perceived as a hard case.... in your mind !you're doing your job.... but then you come home to your family.... and you are caring kind loving and considerate.... they do not see.. the way you are at work...... I guess my point is... one should not judge a book . simply by its cover..

.

This is rather ironic coz i had been thinking about all those questions too

..yes.. brother Romeo it is good to think..yes..lol

... now I need to wash myself in the repenting.. waters...... I have sinned a lot lately.... more than a man should..
... I have only myself to blame..
... I cast out the first rock..... knowing full well the ripples.. that it would cause.... I do not ask for forgiveness for myself.. but only for my actions..
.... because on this day of all days..
. I only wish to be a better man.... .... brought to you by the makers of PhD....... look for it on the top shelf of your local supermarket...

..is there such a thing..lol

Thy shalt not let thy Lord's light strayeth away

.. yes !especially when the Lord willedef thy light saber..

.. sending positive energy.. towards sister pink bunny.. ..
she wishes to make a career change..
.... she's no longer content.. tending the baby sheep.. ..

Lol..yes.brother..Doh.. sister blondie..
has quite the sense of humor ..lol..
.. she always sees.. the positive side of everything..yes... she is very kind hearted.... and I always thought very forgiving.... always able to overlook a little misunderstanding...hmm...

.. now that reminds me.... Of a question a flock member asked me..
... when there is a miscommunication..
. between yourself and someone else..
... how quickly do you jump to the wrong conclusion...... that is... do you just leave with... out getting any real clarification.... do you just assume what they said or texted you.... to be finite... are do you stick around and ask for a little clarification.... give them the benefit of the doubt....

. my answer was.... I always look for clarification .. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt.... especially if it does not seem... to correspond with... my already conceived conception... I've who I think they are.
. based on previous conversations..... one should never be too quick to jump the gun....yes

.

^ Am I that flock member? Your description looks familiar to something I inboxed you last week. I miss you.

No sister I am Who I am unfortunately in this case you are not...better luck next week though lol I'm just kidding you really need to take what I say with a grain of salt

.. speaking of grains of salt...
.. I sometimes tend to pour it in open wounds.... I don't know why I do this exactly... perhaps a defense mechanism.... get you before you get me..hmm.... perhaps it was my upbringing... never let them see you cry.... cut them to pieces with your tongue... before they lay waste to you with their tongue...hmm.. I do not know..... I honestly do not mean harm by it..... it is my suit of armor..
.... it has served me well over the years.... but it has laid waste.... to too many.... innocent bystanders.. like a stray bullet from a Western shootout...... are simply collateral damage.... but I am fearful of taking this armor off..... I am too old.. and just too tired.... to be defenseless without it.... I feel like... I would be the last gunfighter... in the gunfight.. throws his pistol to the ground... just to be shot in the back by the bartender...... A mixologist... I believe is the term.....

.yes

.

I understand. More than you know. I am always your BFF and more. I would never hurt you. I got your back. I adore you. Just be nice.

Your Sweet Cherry Wine a.k.a. Your Mixologist Cuckoo Bird <--- j/k :-)

I know I inspired this topic after we had the talk back in February, the first time we knew each other here. I just re-read this entire thread. It is brilliant, baby. I am a published writer and I know natural writing talent when I see it. Your words are magical, evocative, splendid, especially with the beautiful photos you shared as backdrop to your poetic words. You should print out this thread and submit it. You need to capitalize on your creative talent. I hope you start writing seriously. You're amazing, my love.

Forgive thee brother no1phd for thy almost broke on of the ten commandments:


Thy shalt not committ ********

A certain breed of Eve's descendent along with satan corrupted my innocent mind

.. yes brother Romeo ... that is one of the sins.... but do you truly feel you have sinned in your own heart... being unfaithful to who you are... is one of the worst sins you can commit...

..what.. is this I hear sister blondie... you are the head shepherdess..... are you resigning your position..?...
.... truly wish you would reconsider..
the flock would be lost without your guidance.... and your firm hand..wink..

.. there is nothing wrong with letting your mind explore..
the world and everything in it..
is ours for the exploring..yes..
.. it is your soul ... that must not be captured... by the wickedness...
. stay true to who you are..
.. the man we know to be pure and true..... just remember do onto others as you would have them do onto you.....
