      From: inetpcpete@gmail.com              Fragile       “If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one        Drying in the colour of the evening sun        Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away        But something in our minds will always stay        Perhaps this final act was meant        To clinch a lifetime's argument        That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could        For all those born beneath an angry star        Lest we forget how fragile we are”              Luvprog, shared these lyrics in one of her ‘crazy’ posts.        It’s beautiful, she sees that beauty, and try’s to share it with other       people, that’s not crazy, that’s kindness. I saw crazy at first, I said       that I thought she was possibly “unstable”… But, I took the time to look       at her words, to try to        see past the ‘crazy’ and reach out to her in her own unique way. It felt       like I was meeting an old friend for the first time ever… I didn’t connect       with her in person, I don’t know her, I connected with her in her words -       it’s all right there.        Take those lyrics she shared and look to the talking heads, look to us right       now, she saw something beautiful in those words…        What if we try to look past the ‘crazy’ an see her differently? What if we       replace crazy with –Human and ‘lol’ with kindness.        She apparently reached out to others in the past and was crushed. She’s       fragile and slow to trust now, it’s written all over her posts, she may be       unstable, but she’s not crazy…        What if there’s more to her that just crazy, just as there is more to you       and me?        ---“Daisy --- chain”---        Blood – A confrontation of sorts, it can get messy, but please don’t       “run” we’re all in this together, be strong, its not just about you, its       about us.        Flesh - “trust of a child”, open, warm, curious, kind, vulnerable,       afraid, innocent -wonderment…        ---------------------------------------------DIVISION BELL------       --------------------------------------------       Steal- Skeptical adult, closed, cold, calloused, cruel, vulnerable, afraid,       Aren’t we all though?       Sun - Something beautiful, warm, above our heads. She mentioned her Son on       that bridge and she got back in her car.        Tomorrow= not yet, but they say the grass is greener.        Rain - Truth, kindness, forgiveness, trust, “I come to you defenses down       with the trust of a child Red rain is coming down” Some run from the rain       (you’re not alone), some cry in it, some dance in it.        Stains -We all have them, its ok, “just a little pinprick” The only thing       that matters is that we learn from those stains, or scars.        Will always ‘stay’ - “a vision that was planted in my brain….”        This final act, a lifetime’s argument. Let’s not argue, let’s talk. Do       you have something to share? I'm open to hearing it.        Violence isn’t just hitting, it’s harming in anyway. Laughing, or       stabbing, it can feel the same.        No more anger, wipe the slate clean and start over, be kind. Love is powerful       Is that as easy as it sounds?       We are laughing at a 'fragile' person, because we are fragile too, we are all       guilty of it, I laughed at first too.        Can we truly forget our anger though? Can you? Can you let go of it, and move       on with an open heart and ask, What if? Did you roll your eyes? I did at       first, I scanned a couple posts and immediately saw crazy, “My mistake...”       What if she’s not just        talking to herself?        I don’t have all the answers, but I know truth and beauty when I see it.       Floyd sang –“’Do you think I know something you don’t know. If I DON'T       promise you the answers, would you go?” I’m not looking for promises, and       I’ve got nothing        better to do! I’m looking to me and I’m looking to you. I’m looking for       kindness more than anything though, first step.        We’re all here because Pink Floyd reaches out to us in our own way. I’m       here looking for some people I met a while back, and I was just wondering if       it could be you. “I could not trust the information, just had to trust my       imagination”. Publius,        once said, stop looking at the pictures and look to the music, open your minds       and communicate. They called him crazy, ridiculed him, and told him to       identify himself and turn himself in immediately! I look to his words, I see       frustration and I know what        follows is sorrow. I wish I could have reached out to him, but I was stuck, I       missed out on an opportunity to connect with him. Just saying, no one likes to       be laughed at or called crazy, “sorry about that”.               One of my favorite poems – “A word is dead when said some say – I say it       just begins to live that day.” E.D.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
