I love Dostoevsky - though I have never read that one. But I will!

Are you here now? What's up?

love
lizfitts:
That's me! (self portraits, of course)

There is a good channel out of Fordham, but my antenna, uh, broke off. So, I don't get a good signal from there.

How's yr mood? I went up 50% on a stabilizer & now I'm as close to superwoman as I've been in 12 years!

some words by Frank O'Hara that resonate, that I stumbled across this morning

entitled simply Poem

Instant coffee with slightly sour cream
in it, and a phone call to the beyond
which doesn't seem to be coming any nearer.
"Ah daddy, I wanna stay drunk many days"
on the poetry of a new friend
my life held precaiously in the seeing
hands of others, their...

the Blues jumped up a rabbit

a good jog around the Plaza - tends to make me word

every man lives a life of quiet desperation

-paraphrase from Thoreau-

so I'm not the only one who gets punched in the face every time I stand up and stretch out in glory.

maybe that's what makes me philosophical - failure

there seems to be no woman in the world my spiritual shape...

you only get punched in the face for standing up in glory because others are trying to do the same. expansion. we just can't help it. like the question of satisfaction...we just keep searching. if we find something, we want something more. like little plants fighting each other for the best position in the sunlight...

Which do you prefer - chocolate or the unknown?

Your 'except on Thursdays' is priceless! tongue
Reminds me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Arthur Dent: 'It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays...'

But I don't really see how divinity as process is inconsistent with the second law of thermodynamics. I'm inclined to believe in both...

Dude, I've been talking about thermodynamics again - come check me out!

psychiatry - always offering a pacifier for the fire

like a wife I treat it - with honor and respect ...... a cold embrace

I dislike american medecine - it's too aggressive.

the system breeds a style that is too vigorous for my health ........ american consumers walk into a doctor's office, put cash on the barrelhead and then expect the medecine to happen -...

she tied him to the kitchen chair
she broke his thrown - and she cut his hair
and through his lips she drew a hallelujah

anger - there is no bottom to it

emoting is generally over-rated -----------------> I end up in locations that are irrational

I prodded the earth with a lazy tool
