|
|
21 The differenece between love and hate is not so great. They live side
|
|||
|
|
22 by side, one always struggling with the other. When love is strong and
|
|||
|
|
23 shows its range, the beauty of the world opens up and surrounds us.
|
|||
|
|
24 But when love is supressed. When it is hidden. When it is striken and
|
|||
|
|
25 held inside, foul hatred rises to take its place. The expanse of the world
|
|||
|
|
26 is lost and it reduces down to a narrow tunnel of vision. Only the hatred
|
|||
|
|
27 is visible, only the wrong is known.
|
|||
|
|
28 It is so easy to switch from love to hate that often we don't even
|
|||
|
|
29 realize it. It enters our lives in an insidious fashion, filling the cracks
|
|||
|
|
30 and nooks in out heads when love retreats and the anger of the world seeps
|
|||
|
|
31 in. And like water in crevises of a rock it sits and waits biding its time
|
|||
|
|
32 for when the cold winter season sets in. Then it does its worse breaking
|
|||
|
|
33 apart the bonds of grace and strength. Leaving our emotions scattered and
|
|||
|
|
34 destroyed. Leaving only only shattered hopes and dreams.
|
|||
|
|
35 Then is when hatred paints its image in our minds, giving reason where
|
|||
|
|
36 none exists. Filling the void left by the lost vision of love and hope.
|
|||
|
|
37 Then hate works to finish what it has begun, feeding on the lost and
|
|||
|
|
38 ravaged vision of the past. Breaking the mind into small grains of sand,
|
|||
|
|
39 until nothing is left but a warped image, a ghost of the past, and all our
|
|||
|
|
40 hopes and dreams lay as shards at out feet.
|
|||
|
|
41 Can this be changed? Yes, but it isn't easy. It requires great
|
|||
|
|
42 strength and desire to build anew, to find new and stronger foundations to
|
|||
|
|
43 build anew. Build incorporating pieces of the past, or leave them behind
|
|||
|
|
44 and start fresh, but don't let the cold snows of hatred deter you. A solid
|
|||
|
|
45 foundation is important. Begin with a thought and form you can believe in
|
|||
|
|
46 and hold as your own for all time. For the stronger the foundation, the
|
|||
|
|
47 greater the strength against the storms that will always test you.
|
|||
|
|
48 You build with joy, love, and faith on a foundation of sense and
|
|||
|
|
49 purpose. It is long and at times tedious, but in the end it is more then
|
|||
|
|
50 worth it, for it provides you with a strength and vitality, a sense of well
|
|||
|
|
51 being that is unachieveable in any other way.
|
|||
|
|
52 You can start easily today, just look out your window, or step outside
|
|||
|
|
53 and see the wonderous beauty that mother nature gives us. See the clear
|
|||
|
|
54 blue sky, the fluffy white clouds, the rich green of the leaves on the
|
|||
|
|
55 trees. When it rains see the rainbow it brings. Don't just look at these,
|
|||
|
|
56 see them, know them for what they are. They are there for you to enjoy, so
|
|||
|
|
57 revel in their existance, and love the wonders that life has to bring.
|
|||
|
|
58
|
|||
|
|
59 Remember, the world sees you as you see yourself.
|
|||
|
|
60
|
|||
|
|
61 Stiring, I looked up at the dying flames of the hearth. What an odd
|
|||
|
|
62 dream, what did it mean? Oh, I had seen the death, hate and suffering many
|
|||
|
|
63 times of those I knew and had known, I knew all of that, and I knew what
|
|||
|
|
64 that aspect of the dream ment, I have lived it often enough in my own past.
|
|||
|
|
65 But why did I dream of such things now? To what purpose, to what end was
|
|||
|
|
66 this displayed before me now? Perhaps it is simply the rememberance of
|
|||
|
|
67 good and dear friends brought on by the flickering flames in the great
|
|||
|
|
68 hearth of the Inn.
|
|||
|
|
69 Getting up, I gathered an arm full of solid Alder and Birch to feed
|
|||
|
|
70 the fire. Stiring the embers to encourage the fire to the logs, I then
|
|||
|
|
71 moved back to relax in my chair again to enjoy the warmth that it always
|
|||
|
|
72 brought. As I watched, the flames grew and licked at the logs, the mosses
|
|||
|
|
73 and lichean clinging to the bark crackling and emitting sparks and bright
|
|||
|
|
74 flashes. The flames grew and grew, hideing the logs, filling the fireplace
|
|||
|
|
75 with a flickering yellow-white light.

109 Sometimes Love leaves and hate fills the void, but sometimes isn't everytime. The cliche' rings true: 'Tis better to have
|
|||
|
|
110 loved and lost than to never have loved at all. How else can Man and Woman ever experience the truly important emotional
|
|||
|
|
111 state of Love? Being bombarded on all sides as to how black the time after love can be, many are scared of ever letting
|
|||
|
|
112 down their defenses and letting Love enter.
|
|||
|
|
113 Our Western mind has a strange idea of Love. It has its origins in medieval times when knight and lady strode arm in arm
|
|||
|
|
114 betwixt and between Dragons and Robber Barons. Love was an exciting breathtaking experience! Leave that plain, albeit steady
|
|||
|
|
115 feeling older couples had for each other behind. This fresh, invigorating dash of romantic love was the true emotion. And
|
|||
|
|
116 when this brightly burning candle goes out, so be it. Love is through. Time for the depression, the blackness, the void where
|
|||
|
|
117 hate might gain a stronghold.
|
|||
|
|
118 Does this approach sound good? Is the continual thirst for high romance the
|
|||
|
|
119 rock a lasting, loving relationship should be built on? As the excitement diminishes, and there is no avoiding that, all that
|
|||
|
|
120 is built on that is in jeopardy. A relationship should not be devoid of romantic love, quite the opposite, that is where it
|
|||
|
|
121 will start. But we must learn to move beyond that initial ecstasy into the realm of the steady, assured, long-time Love that
|
|||
|
|
122 lasts, and leave no room for hate. It is at this point when we have truly, honestly found Love, the all-powerful force within
|
|||
|
|
123 all of us.
|
|||
|
|
124 Then Love is boring, some might say. What is better, the emotional tides of romantic love, where our insides are awash
|
|||
|
|
125 one day with romance and the next day with hate, or the steadfast caring of a loved-one who will always be there, needing,
|
|||
|
|
126 helping, listening, and Loving?
|
|||
|
|
127 Perhaps this ideal is too difficult to live. We are all masochists then, because that higheplateau of existence will
|
|||
|
|
128 never be available to us on our current path.

140 CONTRARY TO THE OPINION OF SOME, THE EDITING OF BACKWATER IS BY NO MEANS
|
|||
|
|
141 RANDOM. THERE ARE THREE KINDS OF EDITING DONE:
|
|||
|
|
142 1. REMOVAL OF EXCESSIVE BLANK LINES (AND OTHER ATTEMPTS TO FILL THE BOARD
|
|||
|
|
143 AND PREVENT OTHER USERS FROM MAKING ENTRIES).
|
|||
|
|
144 2. PROFANITY & OBSCENITIES AND OTHER OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL (SEE THE FIRST
|
|||
|
|
145 NINETEEN LINES OF EACH DISK).
|
|||
|
|
146 3. RE-UPLOADS OF OLD MATERIAL (MOSTLY BECAUSE IT NOT ONLY WASTES SPACE, BUT
|
|||
|
|
147 ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN UPLOADED BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL
|
|||
|
|
148 AUTHOR & THIS PERSON OR PERSONS ARE TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR SOMEONE
|
|||
|
|
149 ELSE'S WORK)
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
151 OCCASIONALLY A LEGITIMATE MSG WILL GET REMOVED WHILE THE JUNK IS BEING CLEANED

184 actually be guilty of it? Do you young people recognize how subtle the

185 acti of persuasion can be, when those who can capture the ear of the common

286 all is well. The Parrot is back in the lands of the living. (That'll

307 Is everybody having problems with the people they love or does it just appear
|
|||
|
|
308 that way? I too am at a rough point in my life, I love one, but she loves
|
|||
|
|
309 another. What am I to do? I've asked myself this many times, and still no
|
|||
|
|
310 answer. If I could I would just leave, that would be best for them, but I
|
|||
|
|
311 am not sure as to how she feels about me. Besides, I do not think I could
|
|||
|
|
312 stand to be away from her forever. She is all I can think about, I dream
|
|||
|
|
313 about her whenever I sleep, I see her face when I'm not sleeping. Is this
|
|||
|
|
314 love? What do I do? Do I fight for her? Do I try to forget about her?
|
|||
|
|
315 No, I've tried that before, won't work. Maybe I should join the army and
|
|||
|
|
316 make a career out of it? So many things I could do, all of them painful.
|
|||
|
|
317 Life was so simple before I met her. I wish I could take her in my arms and
|
|||
|
|
318 make her forget about all else. She knows how I feel yet she doesn't know
|
|||
|
|
319 what I should do, she doesn't want me to leave even though I've told her that
|
|||
|
|
320 if I stay near her my feelings will grow. What do I do?

327 What do you do? What any sane person would do. Go shoot the guy she likes then
|
|||
|
|
328 be a big hero type by ostensibly solving the murder. Then give her some flowers,
|
|||
|
|
329 act tough, and voila! She'll fall into your arms. ( Or bed, whichever you feel
|
|||
|
|
330 is more important.) Of course, you might have the trouble of finding a patsy
|
|||
|
|
331 to push the killing off on. I suppose you could find some bum down on Burnside
|
|||
|
|
332 and make him out to be the heavy, but that wouldn't be dramatic. You need
|
|||
|
|
333 gunplay, shooting, death scenes in which your love takes her wounded knight
|
|||
|
|
334 inot her arms and heart and suddenly, passionately, loves him.
|
|||
|
|
335
|
|||
|
|
336 ( this, by the way, is that romantic love that someone else was saying was
|
|||
|
|
337 needless and stupid. I doubt that any relationship could start without passion
|
|||
|
|
338 and excitement.)

434 I would have taken my fury out on myself

435 in barefoot torment

436 across the soggy leaf mush which squales
|

438 but bites as breakfast cereal never could.

439 My face: two black river

|

440 map lines, a nowhere topography,
|
|||
|
|
441 a legacy of sudden death. I would have died,
|
|||
|
|
442 but there are painters of promises
|
|||
|
|
443 who paint streaks of color in queer
|
|||
|
|
444 places where masochists hide,
|
|||
|
|
445 drowning in leaves where grey prevails,
|
|||
|
|
446 as if they knew leaves, and grey,

456 it wasn't like this when i was a kid

458 if i talked to the wall

460 screamed at no one in particular

|
|
463 with three children and a litter of cats
|
|||
|
|
464 when i could sit myself down
|

465 in a black vinyl chair

505 know, this sounds like I live for stuff like this, well, I don't, I'm just

506 sick and tired of what he says and does. But, I'm not planning on moving
|

507 anytime in the near future so if he wants, he can find me here. Who knows,

508 maybe this little incident will make him shut up forever?? Wouldn't be any

|

|
|
514 To the lovelorn:
|
|||
|
|
515 Life seems to be not worth living when you have lost your love. Suicide
|
|||
|
|
516 doesn't seem like such a bad idea. It's really easy to do something rash. Pain
|
|||
|
|
517 is simply part of life. No one ever promised that life would be easy or comfortable.
|
|||
|
|
518 However, not all is lost. Grieve. It is good for you. It is the only way that
|
|||
|
|
519 you can start to go on with your life.
|
|||
|
|
520 I would recommend to you a book called "Good Grief". Even though it is geared
|
|||
|
|
521 to those who have lost a loved one through death, the principles therein surely
|
|||
|
|
522 apply to anyone who has "lost" someone.

524 What it comes down to is this: life and the world go on. You will, too. You
|
|||
|
|
525 will be enriched by the experience of pain and loss. You will love again.
|
|||
|
|
526
|
|||
|
|
527 That's difficult message to swallow for artists and romantics, but it is true
|
|||
|
|
528 nonetheless. Take it from an artist and romantic!

|
|||
|
|
533 Sure, but what about when the 'love lost' is, in whole or in part, the World.
|
|||
|
|
534 Life. Living in this place?
|
|||
|
|
535
|
|||
|
|
536 Can you really get into a book? I can. I read for hours on end, shut up in
|
|||
|
|
537 my hovel (<-dramatic words!) like a rat nibbling at cheese, I can soak up the
|
|||
|
|
538 plot and involvment of protagonist and antagonist page after page. And now,
|
|||
|
|
539 after finishing a series of really good works, I find myself haunted by this
|
|||
|
|
540 vivid wish:
|
|||
|
|
541
|
|||
|
|
542 The only world I really would like to live in, is a world much the same as
|
|||
|
|
543 the one reflected in these books.
|
|||
|
|
544
|
|||
|
|
545 In particular, a twon like Sanctuary; like Solmania; like QKrynn. Towns built
|
|||
|
|
546 in an almost-real idea, where men speak with steel and magic rules the day.
|
|||
|
|
547 Where gods are gods and evil always a battle.
|
|||
|
|
548
|
|||
|
|
549 And then, I think, 'Why is this? This is not reachable, this is not reality.
|
|||
|
|
550 Why strive and wring your hands and wonder when you know as sure as anything
|
|||
|
|
551 you have ever known that this will never, can never be.'
|
|||
|
|
552
|
|||
|
|
553 But then I consider what I once thaough I knew. What I once thought was real.
|
|||
|
|
554 Is this, after that reflection, so much fantasy?

567 boards I call daily, and I saw no mention of Saturday. So, unless

|

568 your communique is on rtable/percival, I'm at a loss. Also, your
|
|||
|
|
569 identity is not definitely known to me, and the more likely one has
|
|||
|
|
570 (apparently) already been shot down. Ergo, if I am not going to
|
|||
|
|
571 find what I seek on rtable/percival, you'd best be more explicit.

614 Darbon: Did you get the disks that I left for you at the desk?
|
|||
|
|
615 I told Phillip (Drake???) that you would be stopping
|
|||
|
|
616 by later to get them. There is some neat stuff on them, but I will
|
|||
|
|
617 tell you more later after I am sure you have them.
|
|||
|
|
618 As for me, well yes I did see the new system, but it looks way too
|
|||
|
|
619 expensive for me right now. Maybe when I get that check from
|
|||
|
|
620 you know where. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and let you
|
|||
|
|
621 know that I do drop in over here every now and then.
|
|||
|
|
622 I have noticed a lot less problems on here lately,
|
|||
|
|
623 Maybe they got the problems ironed (or pounded!!) out.
|
|||
|
|
624 Oh well, I might even try uploading some of that poetry I was working on when we last talked.
|
|||
|
|
625 I try you know!!!
|
|||
|
|
626 I am looking forward to your comments when you get the disks.
|
|||
|
|
627 If Phillip doesn't find them...I'll shoot him!
