there's been alot of talk of list crushes. there are alot of opinions on the subject and i have my own also. but i'm biased to this matter because i am right now, caught up in the midst of love. and i say simply that love is grand. it's a supremely intangible thing, a thing of myth and dreams, of emotions that can't hardly even be expressed in words. "love is a holy word", she told me. and i agree emphatically that it is. it is a sacred state of emotion, no matter what it's incarnation is. stated even more simply: love is. love is what you make of it. sometimes it flares up like a lit match only to be extinguished by a stray breath or breeze. sometimes love is a match applied to a pile of damp twigs and sticks, starting softly and subtly but soon is blown into a all-encompassing fire raging with energy and passion. sometimes love is just a kind word, a soft look of the eyes from a passer-by on a city bus. the first chords of your favourite b&s song....... love is! i whole-heartedly sympathize with those who have been hurt, as i myself have been hurt and have inflicted hurt. we are all human, born of dust and despair. but if for even one second your heart is filled by that aching, blissful & blinding energy of love, in any form, and all your pain and sorrow and guilt dissappear for that one amazing moment, time freezes and you see yourself perfect....a true vision of what you are truly capable of, then your life has been well lived. pure experience! love is. with a pounding heart, caleb ben aka raw ===== And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie in the middle of the street and die I'd lie down and die ------morrissey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
