A place where i am deviod of the havoc of life, how can such beautiful creatures (humans) cause such pain to one another? Do they not see?! How can eyes so enthral, be so blind
( Read more... )
What a kind and gracious welcome you forward me! I am very happy to be in receipt of it! Thank you also for your offer of..uh..protection (haha!) and your considerate invitation to allow myself the freedom to be open here. As concerns the former, danger is something that I might enjoy to invite if only the real kind and not on some web site. I mean this in no disrespectful way. This world is full of far too many curiocities and objects of fascination not to be explored because of a mere fear of what may happen while in the middle of that endeavour. Another thing..you sound familiar. Since I am free to share my thoughts and feelings I will say that I find it strange (in a nice way, of course)..it either means nothing or that we have met under different guises or I am destined to know more of you. I hope you don't find this statement too presumptuous. Perhaps it is simply that you seem to intuitively know I can be sensitive about 'wandering eyes'. And yes, the internet is perhaps the final wandering ground for many mysteries, the only place where being 'a mystery' is safe. I hope that I will have the opportunity to talk with you again soon so that I may get to know you more. If you ever feel that you would like to contact me, my email address is crzprttyktty@yahoo.com. :D

Sarah,
I thank you for your post. When I referred to your not being hurt, I meant verbally. Pain physically (I know of you) that you'd more than likely enjoy it.
I believe the reason you know me is probably because you know Gabrielle de Lioncourt? She is a friend of mine.
Re: Thank you_isabeau_February 15 2004, 23:36:43 UTC
Selene,
Haha! I would enjoy physical pain? Well that all depends on who is doing the inflicting! But yes, the experience of pain can be a challenge, the chance to prove you can get through it and triumph. The good things in life are not always found in the absence of a struggle.
Yes, I know Gabrielle. She was very kind to me in her letters. I hope very much to have more to do with her. And I am very pleased to meet anyone who knows her. Again, thank you for your gracious welcome!

Sarah,
Hmmm....-grin- I knew you would! I don't mind pain so long as it is for a cause, for instance; to put yourself in harms way to help another. I can relate to that... Though not by much
Gabrielle visits here occasionally, and I am (usually) in constant contact with her. The last I heard of her letters was that she was having troubles with her email account and was seeing to it as soon as possible.
I can't help but ponder this dear Sarah, when will you be adding a post or two to your LJ?
Re: Thank you_isabeau_February 21 2004, 02:32:47 UTC
Selene, good evening!
Ha ha ha! I can imagine you pleading in melodramatic, over-emphasised tone: "I care, really I do! But not much..." A ruthless streak! You have hit on the dazzling appeal of the shameless contradiction! I love it!
A cause? I am not sure if there needs to be one of those with me. Not a cause in the usual use of the term as in "saintly". I am up for a challenge - that is for certain. I seem to obtain a strangely delicious gratification from the contrary uphill endeavour. But, I do have heart enough to help someone in need...maybe! I am there for those I love and the pure of heart - that would be a more accurate statement. But I find both the dark and pure qualities delicious! Again - such extremes, such sensational contradictions!
I would love to hear more from Gabrielle but I don't want her to feel that she has to rush to talk with me. As much as I can be instantaneous and in love with life, I myself am not always an endless over-flowing of words. I understand as well that computers can be challenging and temperamental things - sometimes I am tempted to believe that they actually have brains bent against us! I am happy for now to hear that she is well - not that her nature would allow otherwise - and to meet a friend of hers.
I don't know yet whether I will use my LJ or not but it could happen. Above all I think you are sweet to be interested in anything I might do or say. It is simply not in my style or character to spread my soul around unasked as if I were putting on some grand performance, not that I am at all suggesting that anyone else does this. And there is another issue for me as well that I believe the purpose of writing is to allow something of a 'window into the soul'. I don't really know if I can sum up who I am with mere words...

Sarah,
No one ever can truly sum up who they are with mere words, it is not entirely possible. Many have tried and nearly all have failed. Those who do not seek to try have the capability to do so. Ironic isn't it?
Sweet? I? -laughs under breath- I very much doubt that, sympathetic.......perhaps.
Please don't assume that I am being pushy for that is DEFFINATELY not my intention, simply a thought... When is it that you will upload a user icon to your account?
Oh yes, before my thought's run away with me again... Gabrielle had asked me to bid you a fond hello and to inform you that she is indeed well; she is in the Amazon for the moment whilst she waits on her computer's recovery -giggles-.
I have to admit I enjoy your posts; I get the impression that you are one of the voices which are quieted but have so much to say, think and share.

Selene,
I am sorry for the lateness of my reply. I feel I owe you much more for your kindess. But I am here now and be assured I have not forgotten you.
It seems that way, doesn't it? That those who make no attempts to express soul somehow manage to achieve it? Maybe this is because pure transparent and unrestrained honesty can show only the truth of what lies beneath. But the rarity with which true heart and soul are expressed also make them ever more beautiful when found.
It seems you have the common sense and perspective enough to know when it is wise to be sympathetic and when it is not. Sometimes the world calls for us to be cold and calculated in our motions because the world itself can sometimes be cruel and it makes no sense to deny it. But, there are also times, I believe, when it serves us and others to share our light. Nature moves between extremes in its manifestations, but in the end, if left to its own devices, it finds balance. I think that we too should find some sort of balance by being flexible and unbiased in our attitudes.
I don't believe you are being "pushy" at all. Besides, there is something about people who are humble enough to step back and admit when they are being pushy...there's something very 'non-pushy' about them to me. I guess what I am trying to say is that there is something trustworthy about honest people...something that commands respect.
This is my newest LJ. I may use it from time to time. As you can see there is an avatar attached...my user icon...my personal picture. I have not made any written entries as yet; I have only inserted another photo of myself.
I am happy to hear that Gabrielle is well and enjoying herself. The Amazon is a place that I have always wanted to explore. There and...Africa! I believe that nature is an expression of the divine with the mysterious unseen presence of a 'soul' that permeates every leaf, every vine, every bow, every flower, every breeze, every roaring river and every gently flowing stream. There is something deeply spiritual about nature. When I am in nature I feel a strong sense of simultaneous peace and aliveness, as if I am reunited with my more authentic self.
I enjoy talking to you as well and thank you again for your kindness. It takes a rare and special person, I think, to recognise the heart that someone else has to show.
