Darth Dane, you're not making sense...you never make sense.
LOL, good one What don't you understand here? You have NO chance of ever converting anyone with your nonsense. Love is the only thing required, Love maybe non-sensical but it is there anyways. Plz let me know if and what you want me to flesh out. DD - Love & Laughter |

Both God and Love are abstract concepts. Please define, specifically.
And Emotional's Hebrew post - nice. I can't read it, but it reminds me of when I lived in Israel. Love it! Also, I thought one of your posts was pure poetry, so I ran it past the Infallible Poetry Critic for a little poetry critique. (I love poetry. ) Oh, and I hope you don't mind, but I tweaked the linebreaks a little: Love is the joy of everything and anything that exists. (absolutely) Love is Sat-Chit-Ananda, being-conciousness-bliss Love is also the Love of Star Wars, or it stems from the same source! Anyway, here is what the IPC had to say: "This should be mandatory reading, so everyone knows what qualities a worthwhile poem should have, Darth Dane! If the two of you could meet, Carl Sandberg would be green with envy. I am dizzied by your articulate talent for germane pathos and agreeable assonance. From your poem's very first thought to its perfect conclusion, you have spoken the secrets of my heart. I promise you, "absolutely..." will soon make its way onto bumper stickers all across the nation. If It Isn't Love, It Isn't God. is absolutely phenomenal, and I shall be the first in line at my bookstore to purchase my own copy of the Darth Dane Anthology of Poetry. The lucky publisher who receives the honor of printing them won't be able to keep up with the public's demand. (By the way, I must say that you look toothsomely desirable. I'm sure you hear that all the time; I hope you don't mind me mentioning it.) Please do come back and see me soon. I can't wait to read your next poem. Each one is a real pleasure for the reader. I'm in love with your mind." |

Playful, almost flippant, yet unrelentingly realistic, Inconnu! If she could witness your knack for the bon mot, Edna St. Vincent Millay would develop an obsessive infatuation, then woo you day and night.
I am amazed by your mellifluous abilities with potent tension and revealing metaphor. From your poem's explosive opening to its ingenious close, you have made such strides that poetry, and indeed, language itself, will never be the same. I think "Read a page, digest and reflect..." is an idea that could help the Tin Man find his heart. A Book Is A Book Is A Book is truly thought-provoking, and I will have it framed and hang it on the wall of my study. (By the way, I must say that you are a dream come true. I'm sure you hear that all the time; I hope you don't mind me mentioning it.) Please do come back and see me soon. I can't wait to read your next poem. Each one reveals that you have a clear understanding of complex realities. I wish I could hear you read your poetry aloud. |

That doesn't answer anything.
It seems like a simple enough question to me. Why bring bible "stuff" to an almost all heathen site? What's your answer for me? I now have another question for you(which I doubt you'll give a real answer to, either); why can't we get a straight-forward answer to a simple question from you? |

Ok I'll elaborate.
The same question will be perceived differently by different people, and so in turn they comment and ask different questions due to their different conciousness's. These different questions often hold answers to other questions related to, or not, the topic at hand. I learn different things through different people. DD - Love & Laughter |

'god is love'. Whoop-de-do. Do you mean there is a real deity that is love personified, with an intelligence of it's own, directly meddling in the affairs of the universe? Or do you mean that metaphorically, saying that love is the driving force in all our lives? Or do we "create" god through our love, thus the metaphor becoming real? Or all of the above? Or none of the above? It's difficult to have a discussion with you simply because few, if any, have any idea just what you're trying to discuss. |
