Starward commented on: Untitled 15 by rachel 5 years 1 week* ago* This is profoundly: This is profoundly beautiful. As for the name change, I have struggled (as an adopted child) with identity issues nearly all my life, and I applaud your decision to go with the name that best expresses yourself and your personal truth. The great French novelist, Stendhal, used approximately 99 pseudonyms before settling on the appellation that most expresses him to us, Stendhal, and the Japanese artist Hokusai changed his name approimately 30 times. When I was in middle and high school, where I was often bullied for being different, I heard my given name used as an insult, a cuss-word, and a byword for mockery. No wonder I grew to hate it. My First Beloved helped me to find the appellation, Starwatcher (in the summer after graduating from high school), which evolved to Starward eventually, and that was one of the most liberating experiences I have ever had. That appellation helped me survive the transition to and experience of my freshman year at college, and continues to help me even now. So I applaud your decision for the change, and do not let anyone discourage you from what is right for you. I hope I have not intruded by sharing this. [ go to comment ]

Spinoza commented on: Justified by lyrycsyntyme 5 years 1 week* ago* Isn’t that the way: Isn’t that the way – politicians pulling shit out of their ass, as an excuse to pillage nations. [ go to comment ]
Spinoza commented on: Cow Manure Into Compost by lyrycsyntyme 5 years 1 week* ago* a deep life lesson in there: when you ask: "what do you for work, man?" i turn cow manure into compost, my friend. … there’s a deep life lesson in there. And that’s the key of life. And on quite another level, it’s the very foundation of organic living, that perfectly mirrors Nature. [ go to comment ]
Spinoza commented on: The Hands We Could Use by Callis.at.the.Palace 5 years 1 week* ago* Did the same: The yard with its starry nights Where my brother and I spotted comets Laying on our dew soaked trampoline … a golden memory, to keep us warm in colder times. Did the same – watching shooting stars, race across the sky on summer nights. [ go to comment ]
Spinoza commented on: Crucible of Light by patriciajj 5 years 1 week* ago* what is the rite of passage: You are one of those fine pillars, that make post poems a continued pleasure for me. To cut a rough diamond, is to study it thoroughly beforehand. crackling testimonies of power that outdanced kings and empires and the arrogance of time As for the question - “ just what is the rite of passage into joy?” My grandmother gave me the answer to this, long ago… To appreciate – and love, for happiness and joy – are always the by-product of gratitude. ~/~ [ go to comment ]

Spinoza commented on: Be kind to your fellows by Spinoza 5 years 1 week* ago* The Higgs Field – is Love : Love – is that special field of energy, holding all things together. Where it falters – where it withers, life disintegrates. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Crucible of Light by patriciajj 5 years 1 week* ago* One could apply your: One could apply your dazzling, astrological analogy to your collections as well. Don't underestimate your epics in the sky. I only wish I had the time and energy to read and analyze more of them. How do I begin to thank you for your transformative support? May God do it for me someday. Take care. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: Catheter Change by owlcrkbrg 5 years 1 week* ago* This is good advice. At the: This is good advice. At the urologist office, the same med assistant handles my exchanges, and she is aware of certain requirements (an anti-anxiety pill 30 minutes before procedure), lidocain lube, and a slow breathing technique during the insertion. And she tells me each and everything she is doing, although I already know it; but the voice adds a compassionate dimension. The ER people want me to press the urologist for a supra-pubic operation, which, everyone seems to agree, will relieve a lot of pain and make the situation less inconvenient. [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Judicial Serial Killers by saiom 5 years 1 week* ago* Christianity Has Never Applied To Ceasar: Idolatrous the lot. Rendering unto Ceassar, high pay and power over life/death - somebody's gotta enforce state laws. The faith of a human oft historically collides with killing; in wars, Crusades, Jihad, and ego drven conquests, and public executions. Underlying rationale usually are ling evolved independent of heaven concepts, usually are bloody and coldly administered. Truth. Ceasars were never conquered, just upgraded. . Actually, earth has drugs to put you in a coma so you do not feel the shock of painful injected poisons. Cruel and unusual clause annulled. Executions of the insane solves little, we just make more. Turn prisons into manufacturaries and sentence the incurable to lifetime labor - all pay going to Social Security. Makes money and pays for room and board, no privitization. A similar model could be used for immigrants - capitalize it! Keep em or send em back. The Haitians had to be pissed when they were deboatded at Haiti. will work fir citizenship. They can make cyber chips.. Lady A . [ go to comment ]
