Subject: what do you think?

Dear Shelley,

My name is Jonathan and I was reading some of the stuff on your site and found what you had to say very interesting. I wouldn't normally write somebody (with the excuses in my mind that you are probably very busy, lots of ppl writing you not to mention your schedule you need to take care of) but I still am because I do believe what you say about following what ur heart says. I think I am at a pretty low level right now. My main concerns with myself is trying to be brutally honest all the time. It's not easy though cause i guess in today's society brutal honesty is inappropriate I suppose. And being completely honest hurts peoples feelings too, which is that the opposite of love? and see I think in my mind lots of times I would like to speak out loud against something somebody is saying or doing if its wrong to others. (I work right now in the military and lots of times ppl dont treat ppl right, and then if you are nice to the weak, they try and prey on you to feel like they are like the ppl that prey on them) does that make sense? Anyways, I dunno why I am writing this it just feels right. Hope you are having a wonderful day =)

Thank you for your poems, they speak the truth about what is really in some peoples minds, their hopes, their dreams, their passions.

Shelley,

I am seventeen years old and I believe that I'm in love. Don't mistake me for one of those guests we often see on Maury or Jenny (I'm not pregnant and my boyfriends not my pimp). I just love him so selflessly, which is way out of the norm for me. U see I'm very materialistic and this guy has never bought me anything, nor I him, but I feel like he spoils me rotten. All your erotic poems and a few of your love poems truly express how I long to stay this way...'forever untamed by reality in a blissful dream of love.' Shelley, you are an amazing artist with a mind-blowing gift to speak life and emotion into the most physical of realms...you are truly a treasure amongst us rocks and ocean. God has indeed blessed you with a gift.

Thank you,
Dominique & Victor

Hello Shelley...we meet again I see. It's me, Dominique. the seventeen year old. I recently picked my poetry writing habits back up and I was wondering if you'd mind if I sent you one everyday. I'm not looking for you to post any of it, I just want to share my poetry with someone who appreciates it as much as I do. This particular poem was written for one of my friends that is quite promiscuous and lonely. Enjoy!!!!! 
 
'Queen Aiesha'
 
Poor, Poor girl who cries to see if she is still alive,
Who may not feel what others feel and often asks why.
Who gives so much just to receive the love she needs at home,
Who thinks so hard she looses sight of what is really wrong.
 
Poor, Poor girl who wears all black to give herself an edge,
Who cannot escape the truth in thoughts that dance between her legs.
She is the jewel so forgotten in the Royal Tombs we raid,
That she herself forgets she exists and soon begins to fade.
 
Poor, Poor girl who doesn't know what love is or how it feels,
Who searches for the slightest touch that hints it may be real.
Who couldn't pray in times of need because it felt so fake,
Who found her faith in the darkest place and gave into her fate.
 
Poor, Poor girl that latches on to people she don't need,
And feels she misses out on things if she can't hear or see.
But this poor girl I swear i love and that truly does scare me,
For loving her, from what I've seen, shouldn't be this easy.

Don't know why it took me so long to look at your site. A lotta changes...good ones. You've been one busy little butterfly. You look very successful. I'm happy for you....and I'm always proud of you. I love you so much...and always will. I'm in a different place now....a better one. Thank you for that. Thank you for showing me how.
 

i was just bored and saw your website. The poems were very good but, the people I know they are kind of slow to understand poems. Do you write poems that talk plain English, if you know what I mean.. so my friends can understand them. lol

lol... I'm afraid those are the only poems I've written... On a serious note... even though your friends, on a conscious level, may not understand them, when reading them their higher-self will hear the message and will go to work on them subconsciously to help raise their self awareness... that is the purpose of my poetry, as it was channeled through me to help awaken people to who they really are... :) 

Thanks for writing to me! 

I wish you peace and love! 

Shelley

 

Dear Shelly,

I must say I am moved by the unselfconscious grace of your poems.  Well done.

God has loved his son so deeply within every tear of pain within his heart

as he folds his hand out for peace within the world no man nor woman will

listen nor see the image within his hearts desires as his pain folds upon

another dawn for the pain may never be heard for the cries may never be swept away.

.... good job i love your poem i am also a poem writer i would like for you to

email me back to tell me what you thought of my poem god bless you and have a

good night...

 

Shelley,

Your poetry is so awesome. I just cant stop reading it! I love it please dont stop writing! A HUGE fan.

Virginia

Shelley,

I wanted to say that I think your website describes how I feel to a T and you can correct me if I'm wrong. I have been a divorced single mother for 7 years. I haven't had a serious relationship with anyone since my husband just physical relationships. Let's just say that I'm sort of a nymph, bold, I like sex and I'm usually the aggressor. I don't see anything wrong with it and I have been like this even when I was married to my husband. Well, I have a girlfriend who claims that I will never find a relationship because of the way that I am. She tried to change me into something that I am not. Like no sex for the first 6 months, to be more mysterious and not to answer questions honestly from the beginning by trying to do this it cause a lot of problems between me and her. She got upset with me because I told her that by doing this I felt untrue to myself because it wasn't me. The way I look at it is that a man is to accept me the way I am not try to change me nor would I change him. She claims that I will never find true love. She claims because I have sex kind of early on that I don't love myself or respect myself and I don't look at it that way. I find myself to be very self confident and that I do love myself. I say when the right one comes along I'll know.  Do you think I'm correct or was she sort of right?

Hello,

It's not like me to email a complete stranger, but I ran into your website early this morning, and have been reading it for hours, and just want to say a big "thank you", for your honesty, and vulnerability, and the time it took to put it together.  I haven't read it all yet, but I am amazed and have been just sitting here crying tears of joy about how it has touched the depths of my soul.  I am looking for my soul mate, and got on a search engine and simply typed in "how to find your soulmate" and came up with your site.  I have been praying about this matter for a while, and know without a doubt that God let me to your site.  I am still in shock that everything I've been thinking about lately was right there in your site, plus I've gained so much more knowledge and insight after reading some of your postings.  I don't even know how to say it, God is just answering my questions through you, and I can't thank you enough.  I'm thankful for your experiences and your pain that you have gone through so that you can pass your wisdom and experience on to others.  I've been going through the whole thing too of "trying to be a man in a man's world", (though I am a woman).  I have felt pressured to find my self worth through a career, when that is not what I desire.  I thought there was something terribly wrong with me, till I read almost word for word from your postings what I have been feeling.  I have only been wanting to be a help mate to someone, to stay at home with children, take care of my family, support and love them.  I've been desiring to rely on a man financially, and I desperately want to be needed by a man.  I want that old fashioned type of love.  I was thinking that I was crazy and would never find that in this modern time, and that no man would even want that kind of woman, till I read that you desired the same thing.  And now I am convinced that I will be "true to myself", and go with my inner feelings and desires, and not be ashamed of them.  There's so much more I could say, but I'll say one last "thank you", God is using you much more than you will ever know.

Sincerely,    Renee' Maguire

 

Thanks Shelley... It's always refreshing when I occasionally stumble on people's work that really reflects the Truth and helps bring people into their own loving empowerment.

I loved it. Thanks again for the assistance and info with the pics.

Light your way...

Shelley,

I was looking for an erotic poem to send a "friend."  I came across your site and instead of a copy and paste I wound up writing my own. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to see what I wanted to say.

Hi Shelley,

I really dont know what to say  all I know is that i am driven inside to find the truth   I have always been a firm believer in God  as i feel him inside me  I dont know if this is a disussion (Im going to call it: site - the letter list in your web site) or a help thingy   I honestly feel,know, and I have felt It rescently stronger, that Love is the answer,  but sometimes I feel as though I am scarred , incapable of reaching as I sometimes call it (cause it comes and goes) state of higher consciousness, state of  existence, knowledge, full harmony and inner peace, I am sometimes lost in my life  and feel incapable of knowing how to Love myself, I dont know   right now im confused :)  I sometimes feel I do and sometimes I don't    I guess thats modern life,   I respect Your views, and I found them to be very interesting,   sometimes the truth Is round the corner.

Shelly (if I may call You that)   I Thank you...

I wish You all the Best
Thanks,

Andrew

Shelley,

This is one of the coolest web sites I’ve seen in quite some time. I keep checking it out when the bosses aren’t paying attention....

You are absolutely, without a doubt, one of the most intriguing, alluring, downright gorgeous women I’ve ever seen. I don’t want to get all weird on you here but come on; I dare any man who actually IS a man to not be drawn in by your eyes. As a matter of fact, I am now issuing a challenge to any man out there to try and resist your gaze...

I just wanted to pay you a compliment.

Shelley,

Hello there!! I just wanted to write you and tell you that your website is absolutely beautiful!!!! It has become my favorite website, which is something that has never happened before. I have a lot of favorite, and normally cannot decide between all of them. I am a very open-minded, honest female also, and I believe that I have found my soul mate. Looking at the website that you have built reminds me a lot of me, and some of the thoughts and feelings that I experienced just a few years ago. I hope that you do not mind me e-mailing you, I just love the site, it has been a tremendous help to me!!!!

Take Care,

Angel

Hello Again Shelley!!

I hope that you had a happy holiday weekend!! I wanted to let you know that your site did indeed touch me, as I believe that I may have found my Twin Flame, and your site has helped me to be as honest with him as I can possibly be. It is scary, revealing yourself, all of you, laying it all on the line for someone else to look at, not knowing what they are going to say or do, but your words, poems, and letters to Kade have helped me immensely!! I am glad that there are still people in this world, like yourself, and Kade, that truly want to help others learn from your experiences!!
 

Take Care,

Angel

Shelley,

You have a wonderful web site, I really enjoyed your writings  Here is a soulmate page I did, hope you enjoy as I did yours..

Bob

Hi,
     I just want to tell you that I loved your site so much and I loved you as well. Not many people think the way you think. Not many people give the best of them to others and in the same time, they don't deny themselves. I've always believed that happiness is something we gain by giving it to people around us. I don't know how to say what I really want to say. But whoever Kade was I'm sure he's so lucky that he had person like you. Wherever he is I'm sure he's proud of you. To have a person with such a heart and such a personality is something I really wish to have.
 
Forgive my bad English and sorry if you found some spelling mistakes :)
 
Yours faithfully,
Wafa

Shelley,

Unbelievable!

I have spent the day looking at your site. You really are something to be admired!  I don't have the ability to express myself as you do.  So let me just say that when God made you he was just showing off.

Hey Shelly,  
           Your site is something else I don't really know what to think of it....All I really can tell you about it is that for some reason it makes me feel good. It's like I can feel what you feel in all your emails to Kade and all your poetry...It's odd I really cant say what I believe in or what I don't believe in I am 21 and never grew up with any religion...So now I am at the point in my life where I am trying to get answers and to find me. It seems that all that matters to me is Love the love you receive from a guy that loving feeling. I think that has a huge effect on me and at this point in time I don't think that that is something I should be worrying about. For I have had many problems in my life and I have not made very good dissions in my life. For example I quit high school.....and at the beginning of the year I got into some trouble...Now I am at the point where I wish it would all go away...But I know it won't so all I can do is move forward and try and make it right for taking the better road in the future. But I don't even know how I came across your site but I did and I started reading and I can feel your emotion, thought, and it makes me feel secure. Could this be the path I have been given to take to follow in your footsteps by your helping- hand?

Thanks, Miranda

Hey Shelly!
        First I would just like to say I love your page, and stop by almost
every day even though I know you update every few days.. call me obsessive
compulsive but I reread your poems and they're beautiful!  Okay, I'm a nerd, and
a sucker for the goofy smileys haha! Anyways, recently I posted a few of my
poems on your forum, and I would appreciate your feedback because I really
enjoyed your poetry and I would like to see what you think. Especially "Fatal
Kisses," which is my most recent poem.. a girl is poisoned by a man and he kills
her.. sounds horribly depressing, doesn't it? I suppose I have those days
sometimes haha. I do write happy poetry as well, I suppose I should submit more
poetry like that, but Sweet Success is on there, and it's positive! Haha so
anyways I would really appreciate hearing what you have to say about what can I
change about my poems, etc.. thank you!

Shelley,

I read your letter to Shari last night before I went to sleep and again this morning and thought about how I’d respond, then I had my coffee and caught my “occasional pot buzz” (kids at school, wife at work – substitute teaching) – hey it’s the first time the suns been out all weekend and I’m not neglecting my job, well not until I started typing this but it’s a *small* part of who I am and how I think and causes my brain to jump into warp speed where I begin calculating all kinds of outcomes from the action I take now (it is the one thing that I am not completely honest about and gives me doubts, yet it is also something that occasionally gives birth to some creative thought that inspires me) – anyway, I’ll spare you the details but here’s my logical reasoning.

Everything is telling me there is a quantum leap possible towards understanding of human consciousness (and of myself) but taking that leap might cost me the very things I treasure most today. Joanne and I had a lot of discussion over the course of the weekend and I was thinking about what I might say on the radio, then when it was cancelled I guess I was relieved somewhat as I was feeling a little frustrated with my inability to make her understand what I was thinking and feeling - and I think we are as close as any couple can be (except for the above disclaimer – she tolerates it but thinks I’m foolish & she may be right). While she does believe in things like miracles (healing and such) I think she figures it is best left to saints and “qualified” people and that the methods employed by psychics and readers should be suspect. I am frightened that a continued dialog with you will cause lots of strife in my marriage but I think I have no choice but to weather that storm and be true to everything my heart & mind is telling me (and it has NOTHING to do with an attachment to you other than what I sense is a mutual desire to help others achieve a heightened awareness that brings with it complete joy & peace).

Your letter to Shari is beautiful – you speak from your heart with complete truth and wisdom. But how much of it does she really hear? What does she believe you are telling her? I’ve read a few self-help books, magazine articles, listened to psychologists, and learned from those that love me and those I love and wonder how can I make anyone understand that which I now know to be true, and good, and pure to anyone else that hasn’t figured it out for themselves yet. I had been imagining the radio dialog to be something like a conversation between my wife and I, but the letter you received from Shari had me rethinking that whole process. For people in a loving “normal” family, it is sometimes hard to reconcile differences. And they aren’t necessarily big issues that can cause lots of grief and stress. So how do you do that in a dysfunctional family with histories of drug/alcohol/physical abuse and neglect? I suppose I’ve always felt that you “leave it to the experts” – these people need real counseling to get to the root of their troubles and resolve the issues that limit their growth. But I doubt many of them would be inclined to ever talk to an “expert”. However, those that are fortunate enough to find you and tap into your ability to help them see themselves have been given a gift but it is up to them to open it (and do they have the common sense and support necessary to do that?).

Your computer skills make you a conduit to people on the internet to tap into that “universal understanding” if they know enough to seek it. I found your story (and other stories of spiritual awakening) and could relate closely with my own experience to know that there are MANY people of like mind and understanding in the world that would like nothing more than to be able to pass that wisdom on to future generations – to assist our evolution. It’s enough of a struggle to do that in one’s own life and family let alone an “outsider” since I think our basic human nature is to distrust that which we do not already know to be true… And I hope you don’t feel that I am in any way denigrating your efforts for that is the last thing I wish to do.

I feel like I could continue this conversation forever and wind up right back here where I started with nothing gained (and possibly some very real loss) - and that will indeed be true if nothing is ventured, so, I’ll try to think in baby steps and back to Shari and her problems…

Surely the emails you’ve received and relationships you’ve established on the web can help to illustrate to other people that their problems are neither unique, nor insurmountable and that a consistent approach and attitude to all of life’s ups & downs is all that is needed to find the happiness that they so desperately seek? Nothing is a turn-key solution, there are no magic spells, and no one can give you a formula for success. God, Truth, Love – they are all essential elements of the same positive potential energy around us and are the only paths to lasting Happiness. Trying to achieve happiness while disregarding those essential elements is fruitless and will only cause more pain and suffering for oneself and those around one.

The existing technology of the web can allow us to connect the “seekers of truth” to the “seers of truth” with greater potential than any known method of communication. I am unsure how to make that connection but envision something like a “wailing wall” (I know nothing about the religious history of it). I imagined a wailing wall where people could (anonymously) pray for guidance and that those who can see the truth of any individual situation could offer some sort of solace. Wouldn’t all those whose greatest wish for mankind is peace and understanding be willing to help make that vision a reality??

I scares me to think that there are forces at work that are willing me to move forward when I have everything I want in life (except a big retirement fund and college tuition for my kids ;-) which is why I can’t get too consumed with these thoughts and I need to concentrate on my current job while trying to sort out what it is I need to do. I am trying to stay alert to external signs as I stay true to my heart and mind and those I love - which in the perfect world I wish for with all my heart, is everyone. So, I’m glad I’ve gotten this far and I’m waiting with guarded anticipation/enthusiasm to see where it might lead. I never seem to know the right way to close an email but one thing I ask God every night is to “bless me in deed” – something from the prayer of Jabez that resonates with me.

May God bless you Shelley and I look forward to future discussions.

P.S. – it took me almost 5 hours to compose the above. I think I’ll lay off the CDS for awhile to make sure that this isn’t just some “pipe-dream”….

Hi Shelley,

I loved your site.. was wondering if you ever chatted on one of the messengers... write me back if you'd like and maybe we can chat some night?

Your information on spirituality has helped me. I feel I was meant to read it to assist me in current confusion. I embrace your idea of truth, of the idiocracy of half the world being right, and of symbolism. 

I've always been a very spiritual person, but as my age has progressed, I have learned the beauty in "question"... the concept to not accept all that is taught to you growing up and in our American cultural conditioning.  This has caused me fear in some ways, and indirectly I've been searching for some solace to this.... meaning, I don't go to church, nor do I have the feeling to go and this brings me guilt... but my only relief from that guilt is my own confidence in my personal and
private spirituality and belief in God.  But even lately... I have thought... if western religion is the only saved religion... why would a forgiving, loving etc God only give that knowledge to certain people, and not others, i.e. Buddhists, Muslims etc.  I feel like I'm rambling but

I've never met anyone as dynamic and full of wisdom and humility... (I love humility... and try to live by it always.. the ability truly to lose ego.... by allowing for yourself to be vulnerable, incorrect and to see things in differing views)
 
I'd love to dive into other culture's beliefs... to learn and absorb... but the fear and guilt my conditioning has placed on me has been my deterrent. My theory is that if I can break away from those fears, by learning about all different cultures beliefs I can get a better understanding of our ultimate creator, or truth as you say?  I guess I felt if I looked at other religions, it meant I couldn't possibly believe in Christ or God... but I do -so there I am torn.
~~~~~~
I believe that when you take literal interpretation of anything, particularly the Bible... you become narrow-minded and unable to truly absorb the vastly dynamic realm of God. My daughter's father says I'm a bad mother since I don't take my daughter to church... I say that my faith and spirituality is not proved by my presence in a building once a week... it's much more -- and that I do not wish to force upon my daughter strict religion... that I want her to explore life, the world and her own spirituality and if she becomes Buddhists, so be it.  I'm not here to control her, but to help and guide her with love.  His response was that she will go to hell then. 
Do you see the type of literal interpretation I speak of in people... they get so lost in it they forget to question everything.

I believe people are in your path for a reason... maybe I stumbled upon you to find the truth I've been looking for.
 
I enjoyed your website... thank you for this opportunity.  You have a beautiful mind, heart and soul.
 
Sincerely,

Dear ____ (don't know your name),

   
Honestly, some of your (erotic) stuff is pretty cool, but most of it I
found pretty freaky .  As I was reading some of your erotic work I thought to myself  "how does she come up with this stuff?"  Uhhh, I don't really know what else to write, I admire your individuality and strong sense of
yourself...keep it up.

Hi

I did a search on AOL , and was led to your website. I own a restaurant called "Temptation" and was looking for interesting quotes or 1 liners using the word "temptation" in it.  If you can help me , that would be much appreciated. Or if you can suggest me some websites that maybe interesting. Your poem on temptation was very  powerful.

Thanks

Asassycat:

I just turned 37 and feel as though I'm leaving port on an exciting mission to find the rest of me.   Though I've been writing for a while I find myself drawn to poetry lately, but have no one to talk over it with.

Obviously this is just a passing note, but I need to ask an amateur question:

I find that as far a simile, imagery and metaphor I don't always "get it".   Am I supposed too?   Is every poem written to be read and reread till we completely understand what the writer meant?   Is there 'logic' to poetry?

I like your work.

You are never alone... It (Your Higher Self) is always there to guide you to the right person, book, dream, or clue that will hold the next awakening on your grand adventure to find yourself...

I am an amateur, so I'm not sure how a "professional" would answer, but I think it only matters that you understand your own poetry.  Mine is very metaphorical and has deep hidden spiritual meaning, but most do not, and probably will not, ever understand it... but hey get it (are touched) on another level.

Chameleon

I dread your presence in my bed.
Your tears at my ineptitude.
I long to change the package of my love
to hide my pain.

My talons grope your loveliness
leaving weeds.
Unsex me now in my power
that I grovel to bring.

Those tears melt my being
leaving only source
clipped at my fountainhead.
I burst, and the shards of my mistaken, insouciant love
score deep beneath my butchers hide.

Slowly

Trickle for me tales of flesh
In little bits
From mind awakening to day
At loves first burst.
What's first?
A new sensation in the loins
A birth
A procreation
To console
Life’s turpitude.

These lazy men who never
Stirred a female soul to inner light
They never see life’s fountainhead.
For sprung from warmth and juice
Indeed they are.

From a ranting mage of commerce
Sourced easy blood does fly.
He makes no dent on life.
Its in the heart
Where freedom springs
And female floods begin.

This mother of existence
In who, passion finds its source
Can touch the hearts of many with her
Deeds.

A babies head comes wanting
A brand new person day.
And all that mothers caring
Will compose
That life.

So test her now
With fingers touch
And urge forth
Tender love.
The well spring is
Of all things rooted here.

Seeking

His hands quite calm
Moved slowly
Testing all loves spots.
Moving close to her desire.
So slowly searching for the knot
The cusp of love
Her centre.

And when this spot
It did with certainty attain
It lingered…
Tracing all the shape and many textures there.

Her body moved now, stirred by ancient fire
It coalesced that hand
And took it deep inside,
to wanton buried pleasures warmth.

And still life moved to touch this faerie fire.
And warm itself again.
And stayed till rivers issued forth.

My name is Adrian Lesenciuc and I am a member of the Romanian Union of Writers. I send you some poems.
Please, send me your opinion about my poetry, your critiques. phedon

Aphrodite is a psychology course
this silence you can't get it back
in vain you read your future in your palm
kathabasis fits to the soul
with leather of stone
you can kiss your hand in silence
but this silence you can't get it back
not even in the grave
the apple is being bitten in order for the leg of
the girlfriend to be kissed
is raising on the toes
the girlfriend is a more recent psychology course too
the origin of the words under the walls
silt raped by the sink man's leg
I call my name for help
destiny cut down steaf of reed is swimming
under the black moon of the marsh
not even a line between the shadow of the star and
her face
the brick colored blood in the wall is rising
freedom
the silt is groaning deep
the marsh is kissing in zigzag
the belly of the land
the fecund clinching of the word of the tongue
static's nature. about war
my dreams died
fading away
in the vase
I ask for my blindness
and my right
to yell inside
all the beauty of this moment
is transposing in a bouquet
of wounds
the almond tree is not a reference point
you move from line to line
with all your furniture after you where is warmer if
you like it or not
I just asked you
why are you loading your soul
with one more syllable
can't you see that he can't carry anymore
and it's starting to go back
only if you could settle down
in your verse and you would assume
the title or another combination
and maybe you don't have to find something
to rhyme with quetzalcoatl
lied
the shoulder of the star pushes the vault of haven
towards morning
the man took off his meninx
and he dreams to a third
craved hemisphere
in the ball
is more palpable the hearing without the sough of
the arachnid
the whey is fettering every where
the well-worn paths of Solomon
don't lead you anywhere
someone thought to a depraved statue
a woman undressed of her meninx
only the shoulder of the star
is still pushing a reverse galaxy
you'd better do the pact with Hermes
riding a vermis and forget
all the fruits
then it's about
an ordinary Adam
and an Eva in the hypostasis of mating
without leafs
and without their meninx
in the opening of the evening
although that star pushes
the night out through the window

Thank you very much and please excuse my grammatical
mistakes.

You are Phenomenal!  This was written by one who has done much awakening... Thank you for sharing it with me... I relate to it in so many ways that most casual readers will not.  You are a ray of sunshine.  I am passing this on to someone who is looking for poets to be in a book...

"only if you could settle down

Brilliant!

I'll let you know what he says...
Please send me more... and by the way,
PLEASE tell me why you sent it to me.  I very much would like to know.
I'm flattered that my opinion matters!

Hello, Shelley!

I am a young writer, well known in my country, and I am trying to establish contact with writers belonging to other literatures. Searching for "poetry", I came upon some of your poems. Overwhelmed by the so-called "rational-poetry" of some of my contemporaries, I was attracted by the poetry emerging from the depths of one's soul.

I do not posses a high degree in understanding English, but some of your expressions like "I will never be able to >cover the wound of you/ With the band-aid of somebody else" lightened my interest.

I'm thankful for your help, opinions and advice and I hope this would represent the beginning of a useful relation.

I am delighted by the "architecture" of your site and I would like to learn more about your references (biography, bibliography, etc.)

I am pleasantly surprised by your interest in my poetry and I am delighted with your promptitude to reply me.

I think that's a good idea to send you my unfinished work.

My work in course of translation is "Liam". "Liam" is a special book, with an original arrangement in the page and with an original construction. It's about a story which relates my self-exile from Bucovina (Bucovina is a region in the north of my country, teared up by the imperialist policy of The Red Soviet Union). I was born in Bucovina and I know well its mountains, its woods and its impossible to imagine blue sky (faience-blue sky).

My book is divided in two parts: a prose, the story as a footnote, and the poetry. The story is continuing page-by-page in 45 episodes. Even if the speech is fragmented in personal reveries, there exists continuation. In the upside of the page, the poems are a different voice --the voice of a man who lives in the story from footnote. This is the link between the poem in prose (the story) and the pure poetry. Liam is living a single experience (of the exile) by two or three voices related simultaneous.

In my book, I tend to Liam, Bucovina tends to Fagia (Bucovina means the country of the beeches; in Romanian, fag=beech).

I will be happy to read your opinion and your commentary concerning my last work.

Hey,

You have no idea who I am, but I met you and your friend at Primo's last
Thursday night.  I was one of four guys sitting at the table next to you and
you read my buddies numbers or something.  I just wanted to drop you and
line and say that your website is fascinating.  Looks like you have put a
lot of work into it and it shows.  Pretty cool if you ask me.  Just an FYI.

Have a good one and drop me a line sometime,

Hi Adam,

I DO know of a book, and it answers all the subjects you are inquiring about.  The problem is that it is out of print... but maybe you will be able to find it on the web.  It is "Meditations On The Apocalypse" A Psycho-Spiritual Perspective on the Book of Revelation - by F. Aster Barnwell.  It is one of those life changing books, and would definitely add to your report.

Good Luck,

I have been looking the significance of the number 40 in both the Old and New Testament, any thoughts?

Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 2:54 PM
Subject: Re: #40
You might find this interesting reading: http://home.att.net/~asassycat/BibleNumerology.html
 
The meaning of the number 40: 
 
4 = The idea of solidity—steadfastness, as well as successful competition.
0 = God, Spirit, Source - the one immutable divine unity
 
40 means = Standing solidly in beliefs - and being steadfast in our consciousness with God... marking a major period of accomplishment on the evolutionary path.
 
40 individuals have built their "city-four-square" (Revelations 21:16) The city-four-square refers to a higher consciousness, one that is developed on all levels of living.  #40 individuals know of the four levels of consciousness - reason, order, measurement, and justice - and understand that they must respond to the four spiritual laws - mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.
They know of the "city not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" (II Corinthians 5:1) and understand that now they must be "squared-away" in their actions and deportment.  They must treat all with fairness and try to create universal harmony.
 
UNIVERSAL = a 40 powered word
HARMONY = 40
POTENTIAL = 40
AWAKENING = 40
 
The meaning of 40, as taken from an encyclopedia of traditional symbols:
 
FORTY:  a period of probation; trial; initiation; death.  As an elevation of 4 it is wholeness and totality.  The importance of the 'forty days' probably arises from the Babylonian forty days disappearance of the Pleiades was a time of rejoicing, and a bundle of 40 reeds was burned for the forty days of evil power.  The Roman 'quarantine' kept ships isolated for 40 days.  Temples in Persia, Baalbec, Tartary, and those of the Druids and the Temple of Ezekiel had 40 pillars...
 
There is much more... but I hoped this helped.
