Who I am
I am:
the son of a nocturnal crystal;
the roof of the celestial planets;
the starry smile of the emptiness.
I am the twisted encounter of the missing ones;
the navigated invasion of the elements;
the uninformed metamorphosis of metal.

I am the water,
the permanency of jasper,
and the obstinate movement of apple wine.

I am the eardrum of the thunderbolt
that calms down with the rain;
I am the insurrection of a discourse without end
and all of that which does not conclude.

Elihas Letelier
Chilean Poet

"Don't worry mark, it is just human nature, you must step back, as you have done, and put thinks in perspective."

thank you for your thoughtful response. i was seeing so much ignorance and rudeness last night all over SI, but i came here to post about it, for some reason. shrug.

regarding the above words of yours...

i am not worried. i am sad. and i have put things in perspective. that's what makes me feel sad. i am a very positive person. but that does not preclude me from seeing the human condition that surrounds me.

i will continue to always do my best to make this world a better place. it has to be a one-on-one endeavor, in many instances.

"it is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. to affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."

when you are ready to enter this strange Universe where
the poet meets the schizophrenic, the erudite talks to the dyslexic.


From the Laughter thread,

"Did you hear about the dyslexic Rabbi that walked around saying "Yo"?
