Ellis on January 6, 2006I love movies Dominangel.
Where have you gone to, Dominangel?
Do you like the new King Kong
Or do you think remakes are wrong?
THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL I like.
FORBIDDEN PLANET got it right:
Human nature, our monster within,
Is what our Christian brothers call sin.
Life evolved through birth and death
All the fittest who draw breath.
Only through the cycle of life
Could evolution have taken flight.
Yet I must agree with Einstein
Whose belief was the same as mine:
That God does not play dice with
The Universe; chance has short shift.
Being as how you create them,
Universes in your mind spin,
You know that it took intelligence
Creating this one -- and maintaining it, due diligence -
the hockey goalie on October 12, 2005i love the way you use words. it is awesome to meet someone who writes and expresses so easily. it's also too rare.

Dimitri Elesk on October 11, 2005From what I can depict of your statements above I greatly admire your ideals and beliefs, of course I could be horribly misguided seeing words can kill the actual truth of something so delicate. In so I will keep in mind my ideas of what I see could never be set in stone less I become a part of your mind, which I never desire of anyone. I only believe your world is very interesting within itself and completely formed of thoughts that aren't simply and ignorantly guided like some people seem to cherish.
Quote:
"I think that we ARE all free to do as we want"
Your words are in a way similar to my theory Shit happens, to put it as blatant as I often do, and in so everyone has their own world to themself.
Good Luck in the contest and thank you very much for entering that particular piece. -

Pamela A Lamppa on June 8, 2005How wonderful to have found your verse. The book, Where the Wild things Are is also one of my favorites. So pleased to be reading your work. It is utterly delightful. ~Pam

QuinnTessEntity on June 8, 2005Ok, now I think that posting this on my author's page is a bit out of line, but I am going to leave it here and respond:
I repeat: I do not suscribe to ANY religion. As I said, I prefer to relate to the concept of faith as an abstract whole, as opposed to fractalizing faith into one or more religions.
Second, since this is referring to a comment I left on another poem, and an offlist discussion, I should also say that nothing that I stated in ANY of my posts or messages was judgemental, it was factual and observational.
I think that we ARE all free to do as we want - that we are not part of a greater whole, but a relfection or manifestation of all of the potential inherent TO that whole. We simply have to be mindful that our actions have effects within ourseleves, and those effects often manifest as consequences outside of ourselves. We are, therefore, not only responsible for our actions, but for their consequences on ourselves. That is how we live in the now.
I too have researched a good deal, and I am in agreement with many of the things that you have said. My difficulty, however was with the tone which you presented your information. It is one thing to share knowledge, it is quite another to present that knowledge in such a way that leaves the impression that your knowledge and viewpoint is somehow superior to anyone else's. Even your apology carries with it a preachy and sardonic tone.
Your comments have seemingly made a lot of assumptionns and drawn a lot of conclusions that are inaccurate. Perhaps you may choose to revisit some of your statements, to see if they can perhaps be expressed in a less condescending manner.
Cheers,

E A Collins on June 8, 2005I find it interesting that , in questions of religious views, some people who have difficulty in obeying rules, following laws, and in general, adhering to a participatory society, seek some form of belief to justify their own actions. The easy path seem to always be the one they choose. So why declare a religion at all? Why not live free of these “shackles” ? No religion is free from its bizarre components. A religion is nothing more than a series of guideposts, older wisdom , to be interpreted and used . The hard work is in following the basic ideas. No , you are not free to do what ever you want. You are a member of a greater whole. As a member of this global society, we as little. Only that you try not to hurt us, defame us, make us feel less. We already do a great job with that ourselves. I have known many people involved, associated, and participating in many different religions, far more than the few mentioned here. I have read widely of the organizing documents of many religions, including all that I have named here and many more. I make it a practice to expand my knowledge of the power of individual belief. I have researched , along with a growing number of others, the core beliefs of many religions, and found that the guiding principals are the same.
Some mention the bible as being a source document full of violence and blood shed. The Old Testament is full of these examples. These are stories from thousands of years ago. They contain great wisdom. Why do some people insist on looking at only the negative aspects, the dark times. If they are so concerned, why not follow the “Greatest” commandment , “ Love one another as we would have them love us.”.
I apologize if I insulted anyone , as that is not my intention. But I would hope , that in the community of gifted , creative people, we could learn to be less judgmental.
I will now crawl back in my quiet den and remember that it is just words from an invisible source, speaking from the darkness ( or the light).
Have a Blessed Day, Blessed Be, Peace, and any other admonition you would like,

QuinnTessEntity on February 3, 2005I prefer to echo the sentiments of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of "The Little Prince" who stated that roses have thorns merely out of spite.
Or, perhaps more accurately and less facetiously, perhaps the thorns are there to remind us that not all flowers are meant to be picked lightly... -
Wolf of Night on February 3, 2005I like the philosophy you have used on your authors page What is in a name would a rose not smell as sweet if it bore another name................Probably and it would still have those thorns so when you try to pick it you prick yourself every single time............sorry about that........I will be reading your works on a day when I have a little more time then now so I added you to my favorites list............Be warned I shal be watching you ..........LOL like thats going to scare anyone............Peace.......
-
strangerideas on January 29, 2005My my, I must tell you how much I love your contemplative introduction. It reminds me of Hamlet in a very self-inspection sort of way... Even with the little bit of Macbeth you threw in there (by the way, the best line in the entire play, wonderful choice
)
I am off to read your poetry now! -
David Houston on January 29, 2005I have to add you to my favorites as i've thoroughly enjoyed everything i've read by you thus far (even your "...") lol. You have a deep, cerebral voice, and yet you have that rare ability to be playful and honest without consuming yourself in any rhetoric that many succumb to. You breath a freshness to age old philosophies concerning time and universal quandaries, and still remind me that you are not only familiar with great bards like Shakespeare, but know your subjects well, and that is the sign of a good poet, teacher, scholar, and human being. My Best Regards, peace always, David

strangerideas on September 24, 2004Oh my god. I love you! first of all, your poems are excellent indeed.
Also, you made a quote up at the top from Macbeth. I just finished the play, so I just about creamed my pants when I read that. Thankee sai for saying so ( heh... I had to fit that in somehow )
