Words Of Wisdom

I Gaze Lovingly At "hilal" A Love That Is Reflected Through Time Or What We Imagine To Be Time, As In A Mirror. She Was Never Mine And Never Will Be; That Is How It Is. We Are Both Creators And Creatures, But We Are Also Puppets In God's Hands, And There Is A Line We Cannot Cross, A Line That Was Drawn For Reasons We Cannot Know. We Can Approach And Even Dabble Our Toes In The River But We Are Forbidden To Plunge In And Let Ourselves Be Carried Along By The Current.

So We Contemplate Each Other, And We Want Each Other, And I Give It Life And Warmth, And It Gives Me My Reason For Living.

He Always Has Amazing Ideas For The Plot Of His Next Novel, And Hates The One He Has Just Published.

So For The Question I Go To The Mystery Of It And Say I Don't Know. I Only Know That I Am Alive And There Is Something That Manifests In My Life, That It Is God And One Day I Am Going To Understand My Life, Probably In The Day That I Die, Or Afterwards. But I Try To Find Good Questions And Not Good Answers.

We Work And Believe It's A Divine Curse, When We Should Be Using Our Skills To Bring Pleasure And To Spread The Energy Of The Mother.

Traditional Religions Practices Are Important.they Allow Us To Share With Others The Communal Experience Of Adoration And Prayer,but We Must Never Forget Spiritual Experience Is Above All A Practical Experience Of Love,and With Love,there Are No Rules Some May Try To Control Their Emotions And Develop Strategies For Their Behavior,others May Turn To Reading Books Of Advice From "experts" On Relationships But This Is All Folly.the Heart Decides And What It Decides Is All That Really Matters.
