The way I am gets in the way of who
I wish I was
or finding what I lost.

Failures, fissures, cracks, mistakes. Explosions, worthless in the wake
of understanding.

He promised us in Heaven we're forgiven simply as we live.
Forgiven simply as we live?
In Heaven?

Please pardon all the question marks...
I'm sorry.

I really am.

Apparently, the devil with his angel hands is laughing.

    "The way I am gets in the way of who

    that was a bloody amazing way to open, PN!

    Devils and angels, all the same---lucifer was an angel, was he not?

    :)

    Questions (and the markings of questions) are nothing to be sorry for, as we know--there are no stupid questions!

    This offering is one I can just keep reading and seeing new and different meanings in!!! And I'm always into forgiveness and how people appraoch it, question it...

    Very cool, girl! Very cool! :)

    Hmmm, sorta along the same lines I'd have to say that if we, as people, just stopped judging and started embracing, the world might be a better place! :)

    You're welcome, my palli! :)

    kinda hard to do when everyone secretly hates themselves for this reason and that. people are just so complex. it's like, "hey, no... i'm moving along, doing well, better than ever... oh, but wait. i did that wrong, and i don't look good enough, and so and so's been mean to me, and bladee blah doesn't like me, and she's hard to deal with... blah, blah, blah.... so life is good, for as hard as it sucks, mostly."

    How does one balance freedom of thought and movement without crushing other people? And what can one do for those people? There is love for them, and love of self, and honor for each's path and choices... and in that, somehow, love is lost? LOST?

    I'm having a hard time coping with it, I think.

    Good point! We all struggle with self-doubt and anyone who says they don't EVER is lying to themselves or just the most thoughtless type of person around.

    I think that if there is love to start with, that each individuals freedom of thought and movement is encouraged and nurtured. I don't think it should be crushing to have a different point of view or want to take a different course of action. Why should love be lost? You may wish to take different paths for a time but if there is love, should those paths not cross again?

    Good luck, sweet darling, girl!!! Maybe step back from it all for a moment, take some time to relax and reflect, and appraoch things again refreshed. :)

    Just my opinions, of course. :)

    i've come back to read this 5 or 6 times now...
    i really like it...

    lots of thoughts spinning in my head, but you know me with words... :p
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
