We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: MORTGAGING THE PRESENT

MORTGAGING THE PRESENT


My future I thought was complete,
with gold, silver
and diamonds
just waiting for me to reach and grab,
and live freely
the fairy tale life
of imaginings.

Then I met The Man Without a Face,
and heard him ramble on:
"Be satisfied with the seemingly small;
if you yearn for the great,
use a small measure.
Never mortgage the present
for a future endlessly unfolding.
As no one tells the sunflower
which way to look,
let the present shape your dreams
from a necklace of experiences.

Never let time tick by
without your gentle breath
moulding its curve
on the windowpane of life.
Welcome the moment with open arms,
however it appears
or slipping from indecisive hands
it may drown in shallow pools made
from tears of remorse.
