Love the line “We clung and we clung and couldn’t let go”. That desperate desire to be loved and known. You are so afraid that feeling might disappear. I love the way you’ve captured that emotion.

Greetings from sunny Australia again. Let me introduce the Like-Minders Society, LMS (of which I am Leader). We are not affiliated with the Dead Poets Society. We are very much alive.
If you are unconventional and into all thinks whacky you have just become a member. Welcome. LMS makes regular visits to its venues such as the Deep-Thinking Haiku Workshop, its very important Toilet Stop, a much enjoyed Limerick Centre, and the Traditional Poets Stamping Ground. What is that you ask? You’ll have to come and find out. Join LMS now as we go and audition budding poet Little Wanda. LMS supports little budders.

“I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.”

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
