Voile:

The end of your post is a perfect 'Freudian slip'...

How about lavender laced cotton balls?!?!?

ZEUS is very happy to read you 'britty, ... late or otherwise!!!

... and I'm sure 'creative' appreciates it also!


:)

Isn't that magical!!!

But I must admit that the seed for it was right there, in my previous post!!!



Reading 'your' words on 'ArtGurl', the thought that kept popping in my mind, was that you were going to ask me to be your 'best man' !!! (virtually speaking of course!!!)

No coïncidence they say!!!


:)

Artgurl:

She’s an Angel of splendid personality
She’s the leprechaun of imagined fairytales
She the cherub of eternal immortality
preserving love and things thereof and all that they entail

ArtGurl, a woman of passion, not afraid to feel nor afraid to reveal who she is at any given moment. She has figured out her talk and walks it with a quiet grace, yet buoyant enjoyment that makes her a pure pleasure to be around.

How does Sherrie land in my reality?


Sometimes with a squelch. Other times, as a breath of fresh cool breeze.

Empathic, intuitive, determined, consistent, resilient, joyful, challenging, gentle, compassionate......the whole darn palette! There are not enough colours to describe Sherrie,

Sherrie can be very clear in her posts, when she smells someone being less than genuine, and always with a light-hearted manner.

Sherrie doesn't need a sledgehammer, nor a big stick, she knows the Who of her, she welcomes the lessons in her personal journey, with a mammoth patience and a humble acceptance.

Playful, when the space arises,(watch that unicycle!) often a tension breaker in a tense topic or situation.

Supporting, and gentle with her words, Sherrie is well thought out, and can express, without any sniff of arrogance, the exact message she wishes to share.

Mindful of others, and always aware of the humanness behind the screen.

This is difficult to be objective, and to place myself as the observer of Sherrie, as I often feel I am a limb, the non identical twin, (the naughty one) with Sherrie.

I think that's it, for me, Sherrie lands in my reality, as a part of all of us, and the part we recognise, as who we aspire to be.

The best of us.

******* Please pardon the interruption, I need to thank Britty for her kindness... *******

Sorry...

Please...

Carry on...

Seems....lately; always a day late and a dollar short.

Jess, Di, Art, Creative, Abra, and a few others; all have taught me to be just a little bit better. I have grown and learned new and harmonious ways to blend and mingle and be a part of a different kind of world. A world that I had never seen until about two and a half years ago.

So, since I was late in posting this to those I so love and admire here: know... this woman is always going to remember you as wonderfully intelligent, playful, and most energetic in your banter and cyber lives.

I truly love you all. Behind this screen sometimes are tears. Tears of joy, laughter, and sorrow.

Without going into each, a post of you: know this; I am a wiser, more tolerant, caring individual because of you. An old dog CAN still learn new tricks. I have.

Who knew? I didn't. Thank you all for being you.

Sherrie..is in my reality light, love, pure energy, gentleness, a voice of calm when things seem to be slipping over the edge.She is integrity, dignity, creativity..she simply is

Family comes not always from blood, but from life experiences and understanding of human kind..she is indeed my sister of the light.There are few here, very few, who get me even when I don't get me...Sherrie is one.

She reaches out into the world covered in webs and smog and finds the richest treasures then spreads them amongst the people...Artgurl, a name chose for her passion for art...Sherrie is Art... a masterpiece in flesh,blood, emotion, intellect and passion.

To see beyond my darkness and pain, and see the light that is within me, and bring it out takes a very special and strong person..she has done this.

(((((Kat))))) Sooooo back at 'cha................

Yes wench; you are ABSOLUTELY one of those.

Hugs darlin.

Kat

Sorry for the interruption but, thanks Kat. We should all know that old does not mean we can't learn. I will never hear the word 'community' again, without thinking of the characters that inhabit this one.

((((((Kat))))))) and you too have taught a few of us

Thanks Kat, your post means the world to me.

Kat:

I am nearly beyond words ...you have all given me such a gift today...a beautiful gift...

We go through life living the best way we know how and we don't always know our impact on others ... if there is one ... and if there is if it is of benefit or hinderance.

Years ago I adopted a partial quote and made it a life motto of sorts ... 'to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...this is to have succeeded.' I feel as though I have earned my place on the planet today so I humbly bow and thank you ... each of you...


Creativesoul - I did not remember what you had written in the threads about what you wanted in a partner ... holy cow!!! Be careful what you wish for

Our souls are imprinted with the thumbprint of the other...a love beyond all logical comprehension. Yes, my best friend, my love ... and so much more that defies description with mere words...


Redy - I absolutely adore your curious nature and your intellect. I was once more reactive in righting wrongs. I have since learned to honor others walking their path their way. I speak my truth ... if it resonates with others they will pick up the pieces that fit... it it does not then the words fall on the floor where I drop them. It matters not ... it is just my perspective anyway ... one perspective of many.

I loved the image of the box ... I sooo would do that!!!


Dragonness - it is a pleasure to meet you. I too look forward to further sharing in the threads. I used to post much more ... life is busier these days. I will speak my truth in controversial thread but you are right, I won't stick around if people are fighting and dishonouring one another.


Voil - from the beginning I looked for your posts... you always seemed a kindred spirit. Curious in nature, intelligent and intent on prying open people's minds to give them room to expand.

My landing in your reality certainly gives me much to aspire to ... thank you!



James - thank you again for the song! It too gives me much to aspire to. I absolutely adore your playful nature and your intellect. I see you have taken to riding unicycles too



DKW - there are moments that your humour has me giggling out loud ... and at other times your poetry can have me near tears. You are who you are ... and I think you are wonderful!



Jess - my naughty twin Yes, how does one be objective about someone who lives in them .... I am still annoyed though that I got the big butt

Our 'landing' is shared! As are rolos, mashed potatoe sculptures and sand castles



Kat - always a woman to speak her truth while honouring the other. I have learned from you too!



Poet - I have always seen your light my sister. Always... I merely loaned you my eyes for a moment. I have learned much through you...thank you!




I so value each of you. I am a blessed gurl indeed to have crossed paths with you! Thank you for all you have shown me!



Who's up next Zeus?

How "You All" fit in my reality.

As though you move from Highschool to the Big leagues. You play some of the best in the nation, talent ranging from city-town. Very competitive and each have somthing new to offer, somthing new to learn. "You All" are just this. Bring a new side to the table which years ago i had not seen. Each have interesting lifes, which lack God, i cannot imagine without. But then the tables flip with with "You All" wondering how can I believe "such a God" as i do.

It proivdes me with mixed emotions. Anger at times, hurt for realizing the fate destined, and happiness for the oportunity to have such conversation, and mostly i look foward to the rare instance where we hit common ground, Joy.

As we all are human, 'You All' maybe not believe such God as i do but, you are a big blessing, in my life. Blessing you may not believe, nor even understand why. Some 'of you' may think it was causing such a opposite effect. I am finding that as i post it helps me as a person and i have "You All" to thank. Could i thank someone who agrees, pats my back every post i make? Dont i need the 'other side' to grow? Blessings you are, thank you, and maybe "God Bless" 'You All'.

This is how 'you all' fit into my reality

~ Do You Really Know the Spirit? ~


Can you listen with your heart?
Can you see beyond the myth?
Can you feel the living spirit
in the people you are with?

You say we’re lacking God
but your claim is quite uncouth
For nothing in this world
could be further from the truth.

Do you really know the spirit?
Or do you know a mere façade?
An empty dry description
of an ancient manmade God?

The spirit lives within us
it’s not a story told by men
It’s the power of emotion
and the essence of the Zen

To say we’re lacking God
is to show that you are blind
To the human love and kindness
that before you is enshrined

A treasure chest of love
A mountain of affection
The essence of the great one
in his spiritual reflection

You pass a pious judgment
on the nature of our souls
But your reasoning’s erroneous
and clearly full of holes

You base your facts on dogma
and the words within a book
But truth, my friend, cannot be found
in the pages where you look

The living truth’s before you
in the hearts of those you meet
If you live your life in dogma
you’ll be blinded by deceit

Forever judging others
and jumping to conclusions
Living out a nightmare
of primordial delusions

STRAIGHT FROM 'ZEUS' !!!

KalamazooGuy87,
'ZEUS' asked me to tell you that if you had taken a break from that moralizing reflex of separating people along the lines of 'your personnal separating god', all that would have been left in your message, would have been your genuine words of love and appreciation of others whom don't necessarily share your 'exact ' views.

But lucky you, given that 'Zeuz' is a pretty cool god himself, and not a mere human like us here, 'he' picked-up on the genuine 'love' and 'appreciation' parts of your words to 'US ALL'!!! And for that, I genuinely thank you 'zooguy'!!!

ArtGurl,
Zeus asked me to tell you all the love he has for you,
... a 'Zeus' like, divine kind of love of course!!!
He went on to confirm that everyone was touched by your heartfelt personnal replies! :)

And finally, IT IS UP TO YOU 'ARTGURL' TO NAME THE NEXT CANDIDATE, FROM THE CURRENT PLAYERS!!!

So mount that unicycle of yours, ride around the family, and pick the next 'reality landing' 'subject' !!!

***she spots another on yonder unicycle and upon further inspection sees Abra***

Will he accept?
