Hi Annie,

 

I deeply apprciate your saying

what you're saying.

Your thoughts reflect what I have been

thinking for a long time and which I

spent two long posts trying to

suggest.

 

I have often considered the many

reports of neoNazi meetings and stuff

we hear on the radio every day here

and which are lauded as shock news,

because everyone is or ought to be scared

of the neo Nazi boys.

 

There are so many times I have thought:

Gee, if things were a bit different,

if my life had been a little bit different,

not so sfe and posh,

I could have been one of those boys.

 

Love,

 

Amanda.

yes... makes it hard to judge and easy to accept and love,

when its so obvious that we are not responsible for all

that we are... we just are what we are... as others are

what they are.

 

I stopped trying to be what I wasn't when this first hit me.

I stopped trying to be anything I suppose... I am what I am...

famous words but so true

 

Nice to share this with you Amanda. Theres something special

about sharing understanding... hmmmm

 

Feeling good,

Love

Annie
