Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 Dear list members, and all my friends in wonderland. How wonderful. Yes, existential angst, and yet, this very despair was "what I am", "who I am". Buried alive in a hole, slowly covered by dirt, shovelful by shovelful, feeling like dying: yes, this "I" can die a thousand deaths, but its only who I *was*: and when the attention turns away from that, then there's another "me": like Austin Power's "mini-me", and so the futility of all these me's pounds away at this sense of "who I am", until "I" blows up. And all those voices in wonderland are no longer uttering mysterious mantras, chants, formulas, telling stories that don't make sense, but caress this "blown up I", and as if I could see without my eyes, hear without my ears, know without a brain, a seeing, hearing and knowing that "I" was "everything all at once"...and there is no ending to this story. Love to all. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to all. Terry. Ha! Well Said Terry. Making the effort makes us all willing to help. How wonderful. There is only one thing I know. Help yourself to be able to help others. Understand yourself so that you can understand what will resonate with others. Service. It's the only way to go . . . PEACE AND JOY TO YOU Love Lobster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
