Manual! They gave out a manual? Must'a misplaced mine somewhere. Oh.....let me see....yeah....I think I found it...stuffed behind my heart.

I’m merely suggesting a path. I cannot walk the path with you, I cannot tell you what you’ll see along the way, I cannot even guarantee you’ll make it back. If you do get lost though, just look for that light that binds us all together. The light bright enough to lead us out of any darkness.

Flashlights! Huh! They gave those out too?! Jeez! Where do you guys get all the good stuff? Oh...Oh....wait....I think I found it....Dang! The batteries are dead!

P.S. Oh and I cannot be held liable for any personal demons you may dig up along the way.

Shovels? We need shovels? What? What's that I see? Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can return this stuff, right?

Mostly from just self observation. I try not to read too many books or subscribe to any experts when it comes to human insight, unless I’m just interested in their opinion. It kind of saps our own creativity if we’re just repeating other people’s conclusions. We human beings are far too impressionable. Many people will spend their whole life studying other people to try and gain insight into human behavior, but can you ever know another person more than yourself?

Anyway that's just my path, and there are no absolutes when it comes to paths in life. My path may not necessarily be your own, even if we are both looking for the same thing. We can still arrive at the same place, just from different directions.

You are your own greatest insight into the nature of humanity.

Omigosh Daniel, ROLFMAO!

Hey Vortex- not making fun of you, ok? Rather, the thought occurred to me that fear can be so terrifying that one's only option at times is to laugh right in its face. I buy everything your saying.

What the heck is ROLFMAO? Mao getting a massage? Seriously. I haven't a clue.

Actually I use light as a metaphor for Love, but flashlight is pretty close.

Trying not to sound too chliche but, when our fears are so overwhelming

Sometimes we have to laugh, to keep from crying.

So true...so true.....interestingly, I've noticed (seeing that I teach singing- Zerbie will know exactly when I mean here) that when things really get going the two expressions- laughing and crying- look weirdly similar. There's that moment when you almost don't know which way it's going to go.

I think she meant ROFLMAO, if you still can't figure it out, it'll give you something to sleep on. Of course if it keeps you up you can always just google it.

Gee Vortex. What a difference a letter makes! Library Rat that I am, I tried to google ROLFMAO and got nothing I could make any sense of, but ROFLMAO? Well...that's an entirely different matter. Guess this goes to show that, in spiritual matters, as well as words, the devil is in the details.

PS- Shhh! Don't tell Zerbie her inner dyslexic made a solo appearance.

[Zerbie]

BWAAHHAAAhaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Omigod you guys! I just laughed myself into convulsions here over "ROLF-MAO"!!!!!!!!!!! *$#!

And yes, I meant ROFLMAO. ROFLMAO again and again this morning. Omigosh!

I am laughing so hard it feels like I am swallowing my own nose.

Y'know sometimes I think I am undiagnosed dsylexic. I reverse words all the time. Especially when reading aloud, sentences come out with word-order all inverted, but it always ends up being grammatically correct no matter what I've done to it. Like, it comes out in German word order, or like Yoda, or somethin'. And I just had to edit out a TON of reversed letters in this note I am typing here. . . .sigh.

Geez Vortex, who are you? Who is this masked stranger?! (You don't have to tell us, I'm playing. )

You're great!

This is great hearing what everyone is saying.. Vortex, I don'tknow where you get this but it's amazing.

I haven't had much time to post... but I'm loving just getting to read along and see what you all have to say.
