belly laugh - Donny

[Guest guest]

<<p.s. today I had to take a placement test (I'm a middle aged geezer

going back to school) and while I was driving I was pondering over

the various situations and personas on the board. After 5 mins. of

this the only response I got to my pondering was a huge belly laugh

ripping from my guts. I laughed intensely for quite awhile.

 

Now, that's My idea of love. I love that this board, you and

others here, have brought this back to my experience.>>

 

 

 

You're a sweet heart, Donny

 

Speaking of your huge belly laugh, and how others

are always showing ourselves to ourselves, for some reason you

and a few of the other's posts

reminded me of one day about six weeks or so ago,

when I was at my morning school bus post greeting the kids

coming to school. I was feeling

down on humanity and persecuted and not mindful.

It was not easy to shake. I was half-heartedly chit-chatting

with someone who is usually there at that post with me.....

all of a sudden, something caught her

eye in the playground behind the fence just behind me.

She startled for a second *gasp* and then said,

" Oh, for a moment, I thought that jump-rope there was

a snake! " Then, I don't know how to describe it, but

her saying that and me hearing it was like a defibrilator to the heart,

and in one split second, all

that heaviness and the attachment was gone *poof*, and in its place,

the huge belly laugh! The funny thing is, I am quite sure, she

is not aware of the old *rope and snake* analogy as I

related to it, it was just something she innocently said,

ya gotta love it.

 

Speaking of love, I am totally in love with this

song from Sarah MacLachlan's latest CD.

 

The song is called " Time "

 

here are the lyrics........enjoy....good luck with school

 

love,

Time

 

Time here all but means nothing, just shadows that move cross the wall

they keep me company but they don't say nothing at all

 

 

I need just a little more silence,

I need just a little more time

 

You send your thieves to me

silently stalking me, dragging me into your war

 

 

Would you give me no choice in this

I know you can't resist

trying to re-open a sore

 

So leave me be, I don't want to argue

I just get confused and I come all undone

If I agree, well it's just to appease you

'cause I don't remember

what we're fighting for

 

You see love -

a tight thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold

to have me to hold me, a token for all to see

captured to be yours alone

 

I need just a little more silence yeah I need just

a little more time

 

For courage to pull away, there will be hell to pay

deeper you cut to the bone

 

Time here all but means nothing

just shadows that move cross the walls

They keep me company, but they don't ask of me

they don't say nothing at all
