Oops... I just realized I posted this on Brother Patrick's thread instead of my own. I must have had two windows open or something.... Well I guess I'll keep it here if no one minds. It was kind of in response to the subject (first message) of this thread.

I also realized the poem's rather cynical in regards to religion, but not contentionally so, in my opinion. I have the greatest respect for any religious follower, including the Christian. If my words have caused harm, as they often do against my will, I sincerely apologize.

Why do we believe what we believe?
Why do we accept what we accept?
You have a body, a mind, and a soul.... You have a responsibility.

    never fear ;;daniel.  in my way of thinking nothing in this life is ever totally an accident.  and if you have placed this poem here, it will serve its purpose..one you yourself may never even know... so i thank you for this..and thank you for placing it here. it shows also  we mortals may very well make worse mistakes, while trying to correct what we consider mistakes..that may well be the way it should be and should have been all along....                                                     janice

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

...Cause I know - A love that will never grow old.

So there's a reason my friend
that you dropped in this day
to show a monk that seeking holiness as a goal
is not the right way.

Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.

"These days I don't believe in coincidences, I believe in miracles"  Lila in "Latter Days" & me too.

And it gives me the opportunity to show Milli some of MY art...
And it's somewhat mystical because it doesn't print well.  It has been to the right on my all black wallpaper for years on all of my computers.  To me it seems like a stained glass window...    a portrait in light..

I'M BACK.  But I'm not the same person that I was before...  I have been gifted with a New Spiritual Paradigm.  It's at:

And you, JANICE, you are always in my prayers - every single day.   You mean a great deal to me.  You probably know that but I wanted to tell you again.

Because four tried to kill me, by bashing, etc., this is a subject dear to me, as I prefer to be safe as a gay man! As I still have my broken bones, nightmares and fears, I will always remember that beating because I was a gay man!

Surely many, maybe most, hopefully not all gay men... have been bashed by criminals in their lives, unfortunately!! ??

Hugs!!
