You should put them in a cage. The beggars and the vagrants and the ones we fight against. The people we disagree with. The ones who look or sound different from us. The neighbours who talk about us. Let's put the whole god damn world in a cage. Until the walls enclose it all. And only we are left on the outside.

We should set them free. The lost and the broken and the ones that need love the most. The people we don't try to understand. The ones who are just as beautiful as us. The neighbours we fail to love. Let's put set the whole world free. Until everyone has felt love. And only we are left to stand back and smile.
but then it would be US who are imprisoned.
Nouri_E, that's the idea. I would analyze it, but that would defeat the idea of everything posted here: it is up to the individual to perceive the writings in how he or she sees best.
Thank You!!
The Postal Service - This place is a prison
And then we should send that cage out into the space, take a deep breath and start afresh. Just you and me.
If we do this we will just cage ourselves off from the rest of the world.
A prison or a zoo?
Either way, we are caged.
ahhhhh. But then who's in prison?
i see what you did there.
ahhhhh. But who's in the zoo?
A cage can be used to keep a lover in, or out.
But the warden who keeps a prison shall never know love, and neither shall he who hides from its expression.
Fences of the soul,
and of brick and mortar
have a common goal
to erase the things
we cannot face.

Use your fortress to keep the good in.
good? oh no! I'm bad bad bad
Miss Philosophy,
I think it would be a terrible mistake to keep your good behind fortress walls. Better to let it roam, free.
Sorry I sent you flowers. My mistake.

The worst cage is the one
you build in your mind.
The one that you are keeping
you and I
from becoming "us".
Flowers? For me?
HUH?
Word Ver: pholi

What is going on in that sexy brain I wonder...
All kinds of sexiness! I'm sitting here in anticipation! What's going on in that sexy brain of yours?
mmmmmnnnnhhh........... ;)
Ok well we will save that for the moutain. lol.
I'll keeeep talking now
Ok, whatever you say hun. What you want to talk about?
about you!
okie dokie...
Me. I'm just waiting for you. How many seasons do anticipate it will take to climb the peak? I made pretty good time on 3 flights of stairs earlier today. Y'know, for someone with so many flaws.
I hope the mountain isn't digital. I would never be able to find it.
hihihihihihi ^_^
I hope it's not digital either. What do you mean seasons?
You tease.
"Season three just started." ??? Or maybe I'm reading between the wrong lines.
seasons
I talk all serious :(
Now what do you mean by seasons?
seasons...idk. Like months?
Did you email me at the email address I posted yesterday?
I did!, no one replied me
OH ok SuzQ...i saw that I wasnt sure I should respond. Is it ok to?
it's ok
Should I read the other stuff first?
There are two email addresses that left messages for me...I know riiight..nothing compared to the 500 someone else got, oh well.. anyhow im not sure which one to respond to. Give me a hint to the right one I can respond to. please?
Did I really rip your soul?
our souls ripped us.
Each day brings only more confusion. Plain speak last night was divine.
I know.
And you don't think I understand love?
I never said that. I know you do. The flowers there yet?
We both not only understand it we feel it's intensity each and every day. I know I do. I just want to hear more from you on what (hopefully) happens next.
I feel it everyday too. I feel you all around me. I want to be with you I will go where ever you are. I'm not afraid. I lived my whole life that way. I've lived in a 3 different cities by my self. So, I think I will be fine with you. I'm serious. It's nice where I am, but it's not prosperous enough for me. The economy sucks everywhere, but especially here. What do you want?...I want whatever WE want. I'm being honest but I don't want to scare you away either...
well ..
I know a nice place with lovely mountains. But the small one? I wonder these things. I admire your free way of thinking and I'm all smiles.
the small one?
How do I know you are for real?
I always keep it real. I've never been felt more real in my entire life. How do I know you are?
the gnomes? lol
yeah they just scream reality don't they? lol ur too cute!
I've been more vocal lately about my rapidly declining domestic situation. It's my way I suppose of bringing what is real to the surface, to make room for the love WE share. Telling my folks will be harder. And then? Well, I thought I should get past that date next month I didn't anticipate.
gnomes can stay home lol besides they are all around, aren't they? lol ;)
I'm not sure this is real? How do I know you are you?
well, enjoying it as it is, maybe tomorrow is gone, or not...
aaaaaaaiiiikkkkkkkkkk! :)
Trust is the only way. Plus some patience. I won't remain on a sinking ship any longer when there is a shiny new ocean liner within plausible reach. Even if it doesn't belong to me. If it is willing to take me as passenger consider me on board ASAP.
welcome to my world! lol
yeah, because look the people in the Titanic... and at the end PLOOOF! lol
This is real! You have to have faith in me and it has to start here and now or it's never going to amount to anything. I'm one of the most faithful and down to earth people that will ever be in your life. If you let me. Yeah date sounds good to me. What are you thinking?
It's not easy to be me, you step into the wrong place and uuupps! you lose it!
You will be fine, we will be fine. I have two degrees. Not helping me much here with the job market. I would be way better off somewhere else. You've got to trust me though. It's OK I don't need anything definite answer right now if you don't. I'm happy and I know you are and that's all that matters right now. Patience is a virtue. Just don't let me go.
did you just email me?
no, it's an illusion of your mind :)
like an oasis in the middle of the desert
It happens
I would love to be with you!
ha I thought I was a class A smarta** lol, just playing. Emailing back now. :)
i emailed you back but i don't think it's the right one. did you get it?
I did! checking it
seriously, is it you or not?
who told me they were getting me flowers?
a gnome? lol
The truth about my concerns. Feel pretty badly for taking. What if the same thing came back to bite me someday? Some new "the one" and poof you could fly away.
Huge big step. How does this all go down? What do I need to know? It sounds like an ordeal in the courts. In other words, I'm super scared but I know in my heart it's ultimately what I want, what we both need to just go ahead and happen.
And it will be hard on both sides. I heard you again today... "I love my ..." Guaranteed fierce resistance with a minimum of property damage here. Just concerns at this juncture. Will need a safe-haven lined up and the research into that has just begun.
Well, do I need to explain you this in divine, metaphysical, romantic or casual way? I could do it.
do I really need to go that far?
All of the above. Pretty please.
I would never fly away. There is no one else and I know this in my heart and my soul. I've always known. Just never been able to get through.
I'm scared but I'm not afraid of you...I know in my heart it's what I want too, I have no doubts.
I feel you all of the time. I understand that there are concerns it's normal and not out of the ordinary whatsoever.
A safe haven?
People are always scared. But no one bothered to ask me if I am, and I am.
I'm sorry Susan. My fault. Why are you scared?
because THE GNOMES AARE TELLING ME TO KILL YOU!!!
BHAHAHAHAHAHA
You are so perfect. Never doubt how much I know that again! I've been starved for what you continue to give and I don't want to go hungry anymore. Slowly but surely, we will fight to get through the scary part together as us.
I am not perfect. Should I just respond as an Anon too?
you need to bite me soon lol
rarrrrw! I have sharp teeth are you sure?
I am really not that scary. You never seemed scared.
If you Anon who just responded about being scared...are talking to me Miss Awesomeness of awesomen Philosophy you are correct...it's those big mental balls what can I say...
rarrrrw! I knew your personality long before I looked you up and saw my favorite picture to this day. It involves a chair.
A chair?
So when can I see you?
Are you talking to me?
Yes
That's up to you..when u want to see me?
When you can do so and yes a chair. And an orange sweater. I've said all along I'm working on a collaboration.
Well miss Anon that's emailing me back says she thinks my prince got lost in the river, lol. Funny I like that one. Thanks hun! Props Anon!
Asap!
LOL
this looks like a romantical orgy or something ...
Yes we must work on our project soon. At least touch base for now. GGggdddrrrr!
ok, I won't say that anymore hahaha
Can't we just hang out?
If you want to...yeah. That would be cool. If you all are messing with me I'd really appreciate it if you just let me know because it might be all fun and games to you, but I'm really not laughing. Damn.
I'm not kidding. Just let me know. Anytime!
If you don't know to who you are talking to, you shouldn't take it so seriously, you will hurt your heart. :)
then email me
I know Susan thank you. Should I just not post here anymore then? You got any advice for me? Since everyone else who's here besides the person I really want to talk to seems to not have anything else better to do with their time...
I don't have your email.
forget it then if you don't have it
Seriously? Gotta grab a pen. Trust in the force I suppose.
if you have fun stay, if not, observe. Love doesn't come always as we want, it will find its path
I am trusting "in the force" as you say Anon. I am putting all of my trust there. Thanks Susan! :)
To Miss Philosophy and other newcomers,
I and Miss Philosophy are newcomers to this blog. We appreciate the wonderful art here, not to mention the generosity of the host who allows us to share his/her blog home. I fear we newcomers may be overextending our welcome with large numbers of comments unrelated to the subject matter of the blog.
Miss Philosophy, I would like to ask for your help, to act as a leader and help set an example, for we who only recently have been visiting this blog.
I ask for your help, because I have great respect for your honesty and candor, and because you and I have been among the most prolific in adding comments. Our comments, because they are so numerous, affect the flavor and atmosphere of the blog, and perhaps are interfering with the enjoyment of the blog, for others, regular visitors to the blog who care a great deal for the art, but who are much less interested in our personal lives.
It is not just you and I, of course. But perhaps you and I can set an example by restricting the number of our comments, or at least trying to make sure that our comments relate, at least in a general way, to the subject matter of the blog.
This wonderful blog has allowed, and continues to allow us to have fun with other, to interact, to create connections and friends. But at the point we wish to carry on an "extended" personal conversation with the other, we should, I think, perhaps move that conversation to email, chat, or at least, somewhere else.
We can participate and enjoy the author's art, and have a little fun at the comments cocktail party afterward, but let us not overstay our welcome, or impose on our host.
As you know, yesterday, HopelessRomantic very nicely and tactfully drew these concerns to our attention. I have tried to take her tact to heart, in two ways. First, by reducing the clutter of my posts, by commenting less frequently; and second, by trying to relate each comment, at least in a general way, to the theme of the blog. Of course, I'm sure host doesn't mind if we chat, at little, among ourselves. But I do believe that the large number of extraneous, and personal comments which we are generating are interfering with the enjoyment of the blog by others, especially regular visitors.
I ask you, in friendship and with respect, to join me in setting a good example for recent newcomers.
Sincerely,
Steve
(nee "Anonymous")
I'm sorry. I just get flustered when confused. Sometimes I feel I understand meow and woof more clearly than what you mean. Even though they don't teach those particular languages in school - at least I can observe visual cues in such circumstance. Body language is what is missing. Visual cues are missing. Tell me where to go. Will follow.
Thank you Steve.
I can lock the people up who make me feel uncomfortable.The people who try me.The ones who make me feel like I don't know what I am doing or where I am going.
But I can't lock away the feelings. They live with me and inside me and forever and only some stages of sleep can rid quiten their voices I'd kill myself but I tried a few times and it didn't work. And now that I think about it, isn't killing yourself just like moving to another place.Still with no skills for living. Hoping someone might save you this time around. Hoping that something gives. Praying that something changes. Nothing does though. So I'm staying put for a while. But maybe i'll move. To try new challenges sometimes that will make life worthwhile.
Thanks, Steve. You said it perfectly. While a vibrant exchange is wonderful, there are other avenues to communicate than the comments section of a blog.
In my mind, The I Wrote This For You project is what the comments should pertain to. If you followed this blog years ago, a certain intriguing & mystical quality existed when there were no comments whatsoever; it seemed much more likely that it truly was written just for you, and only you. When a newcomer stumbles upon the site and sees 150 comments or so on the latest entry, they may feel less inclined to be caught up in the magic of it, you know? My two cents.
Then this is not the Prison/Cage I was seeking. In my Lifes quest. For My Private Direct Message now labelled 'Newcomer'.
But as in Grace, Thank You for What Was...But will never be the same again.

I have questions. .
did you use to have my password? Do you want it back? If so, tell me what it was. No worries, we don't have to make it complicated.
Maybe someone here can't accept rejection..and still hoping for the what ifs.
You can't build happiness on others misery. the misery will come back to you.
Sometimes you just have to let go what is not yours.
Now I understand why the comments were disabled. I'm sorry, Iain.
