My writing is an exercise in futility today--everything seems utterly inane and unnecessary. Will respond later . . . been there, done that, still there, still doing that. hang tough. ghunk

There is no such thing as a coincidence. Everything that happens, no matter how seemingly insignificant, is part of the universal flow. Now, all you have to do is figure out why you should happen to stumble across our humble thread. ;) No need for deep, complicated replies to me, dear Rick, I'm a metaphysical misfit. hehehe My enjoyment of words are very superficial, no hidden, double meanings do I toil to find. I like the ebb and flow of words, the enchantment of prose and feel, somehow, lifted above the mundane. Words are the music of life, there is none that is inane or unnecessary. Oh dear, I should go write a poem.. 0;-) Carol.

Rick, It must be some kind of internet virus. We all have come down with it over the past months. This is a high cost thread. Guys like ghunk got nothin better to do than be impossibly intelligent and well informed. You run with him and you got to know your stuff. Its hard to be that way every day... for me its hard to be that way anyday. I guess you could call me an ole coyote. I come out an howl at the moon now and then and crawl back in my hole.... Burn out is quite accepted here; and in many ways expected. If you are honest to the core, you begin to see things about yourself that were not realized. It doesn't always provoke a feeling of wellness. Regards, mnmuench

ok, i'll take post 400. mnmuench, go sit on it. rick, i once wrote; "the wild breast, blessed, knows fierce tears." Heraclitus went into the matter a bit further and said: "Dry souls are best." there is feeling and then there is feeling. respectively, there is emotion and there is what's left when the emotion is no longer. the former is moist and the later is dry. the former is course, the later is subtle. the former is a movement, the later a stillness. the former is illusion, the later is realness. don't let m. n. muench fool you. he digs right down to the bone and sucks at the marrow and then tells us about it more eloquently than any of us. he even perceptively and aptly named one of his spaces a "melancholy joy". reminds me of that old geezer Heraclitus. go back and check mnm's poems. they are worth the trouble. instead of starting into G. maybe let's feel around a bit first, gain some context, talk fluff if you are interested. what interests you? what other stuff do you study/read. you can lie if you want. we all do knowing full well even lies tell the truth eventually. ghunk
