What about me ? An atheist prayer.
Doggerel Dave said:
Can\'t see you an atheist on the basis of the evidence you present here, Chris. And that\'s a shame, because I find it quite comfortable in that position.
As usual your writing drew me in.

The mirror and the wall.
L. B. Mek said:
\'Because talking to the mirror, beats talking to the wall.\'
\'So I\'ll talk to the mirror, and you talk to the wall.\'
\'He\'s talking to the mirror and he\'s talking to the wall.\'
\'The man talking in the mirror, while I\'m talking to the wall.\'
\'I\'ll be home. Not talking to the mirror, or talking to the wall.\'
\'There was a place I used to dwell, before I met this living hell
there was a man I used to see, now i\'m not sure which one is me
And in the place I used to thrive, when mind and soul where both alive
I\'m trying hard to recognize, I see them both through tired eyes.
I just remembered who they were, then suddenly it\'s all a blur
They re friends, I like to call.................
Him talking in the mirror, and him talking to the wall.\'..
(these words, you\'ve penned to showcase
that geometrical - multiplicative, graduation method
of Introspection, yielded acceptance
of that Self, we mostly spend our lives
hiding-from and repressing...)
a brave and meaningful write/message, dear poet
thank you for sharing

A better man.

\'Note the twenty years immediately above.....Must then mean that most holds true.
Good for you Chris - don\'t minimize your part in that. Took more than \'hope\'.
For..many.. it.. doesn\'t quite.. work .. out..like .. that.

Though my dog\'s not half as bright, I\'m glad he speaks the truth;
Otherwise, when good crooks arrive, I\'d think they\'re friends, forsooth!

I\'ve heard some shaggy dog stories in my time, Chris.......Top notch and even if the Lab isn\'t particularly unkempt, the yarn certainly is.
Thanks for the laugh.
