Long distance relationships/friendships can be so hard sometimes. But they are worth it for sure!

Love in The Poppies
Doggerel Dave said:
I\'m not into prayer. \"Saving\" by family is of no use. Any change cannot occur until the addict wants to change. But then a lack of rehab options makes the situation for the most part intractable.
A heartfelt piece well writ.

Love in The Poppies

Pretty and sad.
I have a close family member who has been addicted to every kind of substance his entire adult life - and has been homeless that extent also (save the few times my husband and I, or his mother took him in.)
It always ends the same.
Drug use, lies, stealing, threats of violence, and ultimately eviction.
It\'s not that family forgets them, but you can\'t help someone who isn\'t ready (and refuses) to be helped.
As I see it, the problem is cyclical. The culprit, the breakdown of the nuclear family, could be pinned on society, and yet it is unfair to place the blame on society at large. It cannot pick up the pieces where the family has failed. Mandates and handouts will not heal the deep wounds that lead and keep people in the poppy field city.
You\'re right. The tragedy is most definitely that they are in the grasp of darkness.
Prayer is all that some of us have left.

My Eyes
L. B. Mek said:
(do no give that thing
the power of acknowledgement;
hate is never the opposite to love
it\'s, Indifference..
so this
Thing
exists, where you do
so what
only You, curate reality
with your choices
this, life sucking leach
is but a wink of realisation
away
from, utter insignificance
that realisation, where
you awake your survival instincts
and value your worth..
not for your aesthetics
or other\'s clueless opinions
of you..
its when your Eyes, can see
You
for all the great potential, waiting
to be found and realised
within, You!)
great detail, expressed well
the feel
of the battle raging within you
but try and forget the day to day
battles scores
you just concentrate
on winning the war, stay Strong!

Cogent and profound. It\'s a very trite and worn out thought but nonetheless true, the right guy IS out there. I know because I found the right girl. You probably don\'t have to change anything other than meeting new people.

Goodbye Our Lady
ANGELA & BRIAN said:
Thanks for sharing ~ A very sad day in the History of PARIS (my fave European Capital) and EUROPE and The WORLD ! Notre Dame was a Symbol of Mans devotion to GOD ~ JESUS & His Mother ~ Our Lady, The STONE REMAINS and Unlike the New York Trade Center ~ The TWIN TOWERS of Notre Dame did not FALL and the WOODEN ROOF etc can readily be relaced ~ even if the FULL RESTORATION takes FIVE YEARS ! I will only be 42 in 2025 so i will be able to visit her once again ~ AMEN ! God allowed the Flames (Man\'s neglect) but not the DESTRUCTION ! The message is for US all to be aware of all the negatives of the 21st Century and to turn BACK to GOD ~ AMEN !
Blessings Peace & Joy
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA

Home Is a Time
dusk arising said:
So many people cannot move with the times. Is it because today is a less rewarding existence than what was before. Time to get off ones ass and inject a bit of enthusiasm for the time which remains here on Earth. How many lives do you think you get,,,, just the one i think.

I think this is raw and some may find it difficult to read. These feelings are honest and I think saying it exactly how it is without sugar coating is bold and brave and beautiful in itself.
We are all shit some days.
But dishonest.
