...well, yes, I agree the 'Comment' box is for comments - but hold on - I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry... yes, growing up in the Bible Belt must be purgatory with only heaven and hell I mean who reads Dante? just don't unload it all on me, OK? I guess I should try to explain myself (this could be a long one, like the others I pass over on this site, who's got time for Byron or Browning or Milton?) : Trying to make sense of this world in the allotted time, ho ho, I've found it helpful in the mind - though I'm not 'religious', but not aggressively irreligious I hope; but still rather pressingly interested in life and death, that sort of thing - the concept of some possible unity through love, Providence, order, law (the Sun doesn't take a day off) call it what you will (or not - the Indians have spent thousands of years on this sort of language) and the possibility of finding things related in some way through something more than Chaos Theory (as in a teenager's room) or Evolution from two atoms (by Whose law, huh?) - (are you still with me?) so that as in the most beautiful metaphors and analogies that poets delight in, you and I and butterflies and blue jays and the smell of Spring and yes, love - are in some way related... I think I'll stop there.
