Religions which exclude cannot preach love. - 06-03-07

So many yearning songs, so much composition based on the need to be noticed, to be recognized, to be loved. . . so few about loving. 16 - 08 - 05

A Silas Marner Syndrome dominates the 21st century, especially as it relates to sex. The desperate need to count the number of times and compare them to the numbers of times counted by others - whilst obsessing over being equal to, but hopefully having more than any other, appears to be a never-ending quest. A Silas Marner is incapable of comprehending the grandeur of even the most precious of gems. To him or her, accumulating doubloons (and having at least as many as everyone else says they have) outweighs holding a possibly rarer but evermore valuable gem. - 13-07-05

When a person “needs” a drink, “needs” to eat, “needs”. . . They need more than they could ever want or love." - 99

When love feigns happiness at a gift, your gift... If only . . . another colour, another shape, another token. . . If, it could just. . . When such is as it is, a smile is difficult to feign, another gift even moreso . - 90

When there is a glowing caring, a gentleness, a giving, a sharing, a warmth an understanding, a selflessness - how can it not be love?- 90

It is not that a person who was never loved cannot fathom love but rather that they can and because of this they desperately grasp at vestiges of love, at the idea of love, at anything that purports to be love - if only to touch the hem of the cloak they cannot have. -90

Fat Is Nothing. . .

Fat is nothing when loved by a child. Thin is abstract. . . and so are warts, jowls and cataracts.

Big noses or rimmed glasses, bowed legs or knobby knees, chewed nails or stringy hair,
Tired eyes or bucked teeth, freckles and/or callouses, all for nought...

Stubbly beard or holy socks, a coat of cotton or of fur, whether called ma'm or sir
The smell of sweat or of sleep, the essence of "Brute" or "Irish Spring",
By a child... No less loved are you.

Whether beautiful or plain, handsome or insane, young or old, a child sees none of these.
Your dress or looks make not your fame. A child pays no cost and asks no fee.
A child simply loves What his heart's eyes see. - 70
