A few words
Freedom is in the Heart, the choice in the Mind
To understand, rest in the Mind and move in the Heart |

When your Mind rests in Love
and you move in the Heart Then the two in the same house are in harmony |

Darth, it's all sweet stuff and everything, but hopelessly vague.
Words like "love", "heart" (other than as ugly pumping muscle for the movement of blood around the body), "freedom" and "mind" are all meaningless abstracts. Please be more specific. Use metaphor and similie if you like to create a clearer picture of what you are trying to communicate - the use figurative language will give your reader an image to grasp and identify with, something concrete, like a good poem will. Or, if you do not wish to go the path of the poet in expressing yourself and your ideas, then try the language of science and analysis. Try to say what you mean by "love", "heart", "freedom" and "mind" in more direct and unambiguous ways. Without really qualifying what you mean, or showing us through the use of imagery what you are really saying, you will always come across as a vague and spaced stoner hippy spouting meaningless slogans. Truely. Such slogans - like lyrics from a bad pop song - may sound all deep and wise while tripping; but in reality they are as deep as a pavement puddle and twice as wet. Sorry, man. |

...a few more ~
The gray surface of your brain is covered with tiny hills and ravines.
As your thoughts progress, they hike trails over geography sometimes known, sometimes lazy and well-worn, sometimes rugged and almost impossible. Listen Narcissus, you’re a feces machine, You’re a snot and spit machine, You’re a spermatozoa machine, Atoms and molecules are constantly being rearranged. drop drop rope opera drop rope drop |
