i'd just like to point out this random anonymous post...

i think it's remarkable...

"I have sat here at work for the last 2 days and read your diary "cover to cover". I feel compelled to comment on the fact, that even though your entries are both infrequent and pithy, a seething passion evades the intangible instrument, manifesting the spirit of a

I am touched. At times I feel there is litte point in interaction as we are so set upon our autonomous, self-sufficient lives that reaching out is often like a call in the night, seldom heard or understood. Your acknowledgement rejuvinates my faith. I am not accustomed to writing to people I hardly know or reading their diaries. Neither am I religious, faith is simply a term I apply to infer the universal 'good' in the world. I am, however, someone you have met, once or twice. But essentially, we do not know each other. It was purely by chance I read your diary and realised who you were. I can not explain, any more than I have, as to why I wrote to you. I felt you needed to hear it. Age weathers hardened souls but withers those without it. I think I could detect, a sense of doubt?? developing in your writing. Its so hard to put one word to it, I find this language so confining, so inaccurate. But I think you know what I mean. It was more than that. Not defeat, but if it were a linear concept, somewhere in the formation stage of defeat. Funny how life does that to us?

I myself, am rather lost at this point. All i can see in Keats illustrious pencilling is a man who either had an alternative idea of beauty, or sadistic sense of humour. For truth is anything but beautiful. For all I know of truth is its scarcity, its devastation and power. Those who have it hide it. Those who know it deny it. Those who discover it suffer. Those liberated by it simply fall into another supressed state of truth. Perhaps he saw beauty in its power... I do not know, for I have never studied Keats.

I will, continue to comment every once in a while -be sure of that. For I am rather interested in the idea of a freindship based on thoughts alone. I hope my message got through to you, other than being a nice slice of compliments. I stand by what I said. To the valient Daniel.
