[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 670919, member: 17461"] I like this very much, Leafy. [I] Let it be[/I] the love of life. That is the power of our choice, right? Like Frankl. Let it be the love of life. Let that be the choice. Narcissistic: I have posted this before, but I read somewhere that narcissism is an [I]unrequited[/I] love affair with the self. That word, unrequited, speaks to the desperate aloneness of the sufferer. [I]The all-embracing love endless possibilities[/I] Remember that old show starring Keith Carradine? He was a Shaolin monk. He wandered the world with nothing. Maybe, that is what it is, to be present in the moment; to be in the Now. That is what this poetry has me thinking about, this morning. I love martial arts philosophy. Did you know that, Leafy? I took a class last summer after some years away. There were children in the class. A nine year old brat boy popped me repeatedly in the ribs. I dropped the class. One should not be teaching nine year old boys to pop grandmothers in the ribs. I could have used my longer legs to kick brat boy in the pants, but I didn't. I may discuss that concept with that instructor at some point. Little boys should not be giving grandmothers rib chops. It's rude, and a moral wrongness. Cedar [/QUOTE]
