"This, my son, shall soon pass." Words of advice from a great man, a warrior, a philosopher, a sage. My father.

When I touch your souls, I am with you and you are within me. You know this. I feel your happiness, I feel your sorrow.

I do not feel your fears as I do not become drawn to such things. Whenever you feel fear, change the channel. You can only hurt yourself. No one can harm you.

With that said...I'll take another hit :)

Mod: If I get too maudlin, feel free to delete this.

when I get fearful of someone getting sentimental and silly.. I want someone to whap me soundly over the head with a pillow and tell me to get some sense.

"Get the fuck over it." My friend David, circa October.

I think the combination of the holidays and all the poetry I'm trying to assemble for my students has me feeling self-reflective. I'm not so much stressed out or afraid right now. Just contemplative.

I think I'll work on Devin's pictures for a while. Maybe I'm better off thinking about babies and puppies than war and poetry.

Love ya...thanks for the cyberhugs.
