I am the sun and moon, I am the air and sea. I am the glory of God and the decadence of Satan. I am the power of the universe, and the fragility of life. I am the flesh that gives form, and the thought that gives substance. I am the beauty of love eternal, and the filth of hatred everlasting. I am the divinity of birth, and the repugnance of death. I am the embodiment of pleasure, and the exquisiteness of pain. I am all that has been, and all that will ever be. I am deity, I am humanity, I am. ------------------ Dum spiro, spero JP [This message has been edited by JP (edited 08-12-99).] |

Engulfing, to say the least. And, thank you for responding so kindly to my latest posts. Your praise is not taken lightly. ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Thanks Sunshine I appreciate your thoughts. I don't give praise lightly (as you may have read in the alley or elsewhere). Your work moves me and in time I may even venture some suggestions or critiques your way - after I am more familiar with your work. Again, I'm glad you appreciated this piece - it truly does mean a lot to me. ------------------ Dum spiro, spero JP |

Well that pretty much covers it all! I must say JP this was very powerful in that I turly felt overwhelmed by the vastness and all encompassing nature of your words. Very well done! I bow to you and yours. |
