Brilliant!
\'Like a Rorschach card it would project
One\'s soul, that one tries to protect
With brushes and soap we tried to erase
The vestiges of this Mephistophelian face
But with each intrepid try
Darker would become the demonic dye
When to the spot people grew near
From its look they would turn in fear\'

Thanks Dave the thought had passed my mind. Rented a room to a church once that were selling land in heaven and if one did not have enough money to buy a plot they would sell you a chair. All the good thoughts are already taken.

Hey Soren - a missed opportunity: (I\'m assuming others could see it, not just you and family): Some serious publicity, charge an admission fee (or maybe a tithe) and what have you? a steady income or a new religion.....😇!!!

Odrorir and the 18th charm
sorenbarrett said:
Thank you so much Bella for the read and wonderful comments. Yes we all reflect, some more than others. This came to mind as I was reading about so many, in history, that have dedicated their lives to making their names last forever. As we know no ones name lasts forever.

Odrorir and the 18th charm
Bella Shepard said:
I think in the end it is only natural to wonder what, if any effect we\'ve had on life. If we have truly lived every moment and given the best of who we are, we will be remembered by those who matter most. And if others remember us it will be for what we gave, perhaps unknowlingly. This is such a wonderful contemplation on the nature of being my friend.

So true L.B. this is why I always look forward to your remarks. You have captured it so well the last two lines says it all. We flail like a drowning man in our fear of death but to no avail only preserving us an instant longer from the inevitable. I bow to your masterly knowledge and poetic charm to which I would like to consider myself a pupil. Thank you for the read

(forgive me I could not resist
trying to offer a feeble poetic reply
to this, most resplendent poetic inquisition of our zest for legacy;
Brilliant!)
Penelope\'s bravery, belittled
to status of \'aged wife\'
in Tennyson\'s, Ulysses
Her husband, chosen as poetic
legacy by a Homeric
antiquity, now deemed mythology
that forgotten biography
of Poetry\'s, Epic ancestry.
Aside, Socrates
with fervent French scholary, antics
reducing him to mere fantasy
While Yeats, sang of Byzantium
immortality, to overcome
old age\'s, inevitability...
Many dreaming of that
\'great perhaps\'
where we look upon breath
from beyond tendrils of hurt n ache
as stars
in our idyllic, posterity forms
is it folly?
or a design of Nature\'s intellect
where we dream fantastic
while experiencing a reality, frantic
chaotic
that deity universality, in all
that we see
maybe,
once we pass that 6ft divide
Time itself will deem us worthy
of our idolised fantasies
yet, more likely
we\'re merely, fooling ourselves
in trying to pilfer hope from death\'s
overwhelming, finality...

Started life with a classical education,, Soren?
I\'d vote to play the part to the best of my ability, maybe to mitigate the mess the world and it\'s stupidities is in right now, but to be remembered? Why? It won\'t mean at thing to the \'me\' which doesn\'t exist any more.
So in substantial agreement here.....I think.......

wrong season
if it was Halloween I would have some warning
instead I was immersed in horror imagery
unprepared..
but I\'ll forgive it all, since Walden is a book I read every year
and chapter 2, an escape I return, to
every other month
it seems, you\'ve lived the literary life
I merely dreamed of...
thank you! for choosing to share
dear cherished friend
Brilliant!

Don\'t quite know how I came so late to the party.... though it does mean that most of the good work has already been done....
Given, though that in essence the similarities are as plain as you state, any possibility that all humankind might sometime all point in the same direction?
A thought provoking write, Soren

there\'s a symbiotic feel to my feeble scribble
and your wonderful words, dear cherished Poet
a sobering, yet emotive read
a tender inking of that juxtaposition
in every love
tis, why
only the brave, dare
to share their hearts
