Jump-Rope Rhyme (Tom Hansen)
Tat tvam asi: thou art that- that leaf, that tree, that cow, that cat, that cloud, that sky, that moon, that sun, that you, that I- for all are one. So here you are and there you go and who you were you hardly know. I think this I is only me: a drip, a drop, but not the sea. Yet when I wake from all these dreams, then like the snake, I'll shed what seems: this mask, this skin, this ball and chain. I will begin to fall like rain. Our heart's last home: the wind-whipped foam, the sweet, deep sea. Tat tvam asi. "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. " "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. " George Bernard Shaw |

QUOTE(rom @ Feb 15 2006, 07:59 PM)  Who are you?! Is the question directed at me? rOm, I didn't get that question.... am I looking different? Is my id coming garbled / jumbled? Self - belief is the most potent force.

QUOTE(Mandrake @ Feb 15 2006, 08:13 PM) QUOTE(rom @ Feb 15 2006, 07:59 PM) Who are you?! Is the question directed at me? rOm, I didn't get that question.... am I looking different? Is my id coming garbled / jumbled? No, I can see your ID all right.  That question was asked in the style a kid employs in a Louis L'Amour book... asks the big laconic stud who wipes out the local pests with a sudden burst from his six-shooter.  QUOTE With you & Rom around there is never a dull moment.  THE INTELLIGENT MUST MAKE CONCESSIONS! |
