How does theosophy grab you?
What I specifically meant about 23, I didn't really elaborate, is that 23 is representative of a set of beliefs/theories. It's a shorthand, the way that 42 appeals to Douglas Adams fans. While it does occur randomly, most of the time it's inserted by people who want to show their understanding/awareness of these beliefs/ideas -- re-triggering the belief that the number occurs unnaturally often.
Does that make sense? It's lateand I am tired.

Apples
The apple was red.
The red of swollen lips after a stolen kiss. The red of flushed skin after a passionate embrace. The red of blood as it wells fresh from a cut.
The apple was that red.
Her skin was white.
The white of new snow on a crisp winter morn. The white of a dress on a blessed day of union. The...

go check out scyllas journal. i wandered upon the stuff about non linear time and it fit in with something i had on my mind.
scylla:
I'm reading Promethea but I'm losing patience with it just because it's sacrificed storytelling for a straight-on pedantic lesson on the kabbalah, instead of anything interesting about the collective unconscious, which is what I was really interested in. Anyway, thanks for the reminder about teh loa. Good stuff. You're right about the perception of time and how one can't generally perceive more than one point -- it's like Flatland (how the circle discovers spheres).
and this is what working for the governement leads to. go get real jobs in the private sector lest madness take you too!

i dreamt today while napping after dinner. it was a dream about a transvestite priestess of Mictlan who tasted like summer and death, of a larval insectile queen who secreted nanomites and pheremones and remade the cities in her image, of angels who existed in the interstices of demensions and had seven eyes and six wings and looked a little like serpents with strange angles....

Thanks for the compliments.
I've read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, and I really enjoyed it. I plan to check out more of her stuff.

for the longest time i thought i knew pain. from a physical perspective i spent the first half of my life being beaten up as the smallest, weakest, and oddest child around. i have spent the second half in and out of surgery for a number of inherited or developed problems that have left me mostly scar tissue and partially crippled. in spite of this...

Red
The street lamp sheds a pool of light, a tiny island in the vast sea of night. The wind cuts cold through it, but the type of sanctuary it provides is not from the likes of the elements. It provides shelter from that which lurks in the dark.
Lurking like a wolf.
She enters its luminescent embrace like a swimmer emerging from the water...

The Smile
She stands framed by the doorway. Light from behind her picks out her slender form through the flowing shapeless dress. She is short,
slight,
a child.
She is a faerie tale dream.
There she stands, long white hair pulled back and braided in a fox tail. Wide brimmed straw hat balanced precariously on the back of her head. Soft cotton cloth, printed with...

Show some more - I think you should try and get it published. I've got so much of my own to weed through, but had the same thoughts (it all seems to revolve around lost love though so I need to find some new material before doing anything with it all.
Yes, I think weeding out the dregs of humanity would be good - although with shows like jackass and these other reality tv programs I fear that would be most of the population.

True, true very true... It is fascinating and eerie in the same aspect... The reason it was strange for me is that it hit close to home. It is a perfect example of 'you never know' and always be careful of the ones you have around you, or the ones that you consider to have around you. So yes, it may be intriguing to view the others in the world in such a beautiful way. Being appreciative of who they are, where they came from and so forth. But you know, sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised and shocked in return.
I find your stories, as well as your intelligence, stimulating on a plethora of levels. The gray matter upstairs says "feed me"
One of my favorite Lewis Carroll verses... and I don't know why:
The time has come the walrus said to talk of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot and whether
