That was a great idea. :) Enjoyed.

“I have had to experience so much stupidity, so many vices, so much error, so much nausea, disillusionment and sorrow, just in order to become a child again and begin anew. But it was right that it should be so: my eyes and heart acclaim it. I had to experience despair, I had to sink to the greatest mental depths, to thoughts of suicide, in order to experience grace, to hear Om again, to sleep deeply again and to awaken refreshed again. I had to become a fool again in order to find Atman in myself. I had to sin in order to live again. Whither will my path yet lead me? This path is stupid, it goes in spirals, perhaps in circles, but whichever way it goes, I follow it.” Siddhartha- Herman Hesse

"jolly good show chap" ...keep spitting...

"music is soul"

thanks for reading, responding to, and inspiring this piece. It actually did'nt take all that long. Just one bored day at work. LOL I went through & read almost all the current pieces on pages 1-7. As I did I chose a line that I liked from each one & copied it down as well as who wrote it. I also chose lines that I thought would be useful to the flow or as transitions. Once I had everything I just had to re-arrage it over and over until it all made sense. Some lines could not be used so i would go back to that person's piece & pick a different line. It took a lil while but it felt worth it once it was done. I was satisfied with how it turned out. I'm glad you all could feel it. It just goes to show how talented all of you are! Keep it up.....


Keep Flowin'......

NO, how talented u are playa. this was incredible.

now this is love for tha boards

KnowOne, this is a very good exerscise. Very well done it shows passion and love for the board. Job well done

n.

hotness

Im kinda new here...but this piece is really cool! I've never read anything quite like this.
It's as if each verse is Intricately woven together within it's own meaning like a lyrical collage.

I plan on reading this once more..I'd love to know your interpretation?

Beautiful Job!

yep, read it again
it's brilliant

thank you for including me in this. this wholly shows your involvement in this board.

and thank you for that.

It's things like THIS -- (as well as other things, of course!) -- but it's things like this that make me REALLY appreciate our current moderators!

You TAKE the time to make US feel appreciated -- individually and collectively -- to make us feel SPECIAL -- to make us feel like we ALL belong! -- ;^)

In this flow you included "new" OKP heads, as well as oldies -- So everyone feels a kinship -- REGARDLESS of their length of time on the board, nahmean?

This was really Special, *Know* -- Thanks again for your thoughtfulness! -- *smiles*

I appreciate it. Nice to see my efforts are being noticed. lol
