And he said to himself
in a sunken morning moon
between two pines
between lost gold and lingering green:

I believe I will count up my worlds
There seem to me to be three
There is a world I came from, which is Number One
There is a world I am in now, which is Number Two
There is a world I go to next, which is Number Three

There was the seed pouch, the place I lay dark in, nursed and shaped in a warm, red, wet cuddling place.

There is the place I am in now, where I look back and look ahead, and dream in wonder.

There is the next place-
And he took a look out the window
at a sunken morning moon
between two pines,
between lost gold and lingering green

Analyze the major trends in American politics from the end of the Civil War through WWI. What were the major and minor political parties, and what did they stand for?

Is it any good?

I was at a flea market today, and while my dad was looking through some boxes of old books, I just glanced over the shelf and saw 'From the Author of The Virgin Suicides' written really tiny on a book that was turned differently than the others.

I picked it up and saw it was only $2.50, so I bought it.

I know that a short biography of the book is printed inside, but I wanted personal opinions.

What's 'Middlesex' about, and is it any good?

Will you stop in life? Just stop and live? Don't worry about how much money you have or do not have. Enjoy life. Will you spend time with your children and animals? Will you just stop? Will you?

Is the soul "the real boss" of us?

To make any one answerable for doing evil to others, is the rule; to make him answerable for not preventing evil is, comparatively speaking, the exception....
How does this have to do with liberty?
well yeah. but the rule is making him answer to something he has done which is an act of evil. but how is to make him answerable for not preventing evil and exception??

It's something like word art or poetry art or something...? Like when you write the word "tree" over and over in the shape of a tree, or this:

I like murder mysteries....but it cant have a slow start. I used to love to read but now I cant find any good ones! Any suggestions out there? A site where you could rate books that youve read and then it would give you suggestions, like netflix, would be awesome....in a dorkish sorta way. But anything suspenseful or just really interesting suits me fine.

Expanding Markets and Moving West

2007-03-11 16:16:09 · 6 answers · asked by Red 1 in History

In the mind of the modern world, which acts as a force of nature, there is no difference between War and Peace. Peace can be just as marketable as War and War could be just as unmarketable as Peace. The only difference in the mind of the modern world is that Peace has not followed in Wars footsteps.

The last six years I have worked on a project that involves creating tools that inspire and move people in a positive light. If produced on a large scale -
1. it would move and inspire people towards peace.
2. more powerful tools will be inspired.

The great "military-industrial complex" would turn inwards and feed on itself till it is no more and weapons of mass peace would become our children's future.

I am ex-military, and I was trained in one of the most elite fields in the world, a field that made the "weapons of mass destruction" possible. All modern advances stem and exist from what I was trained do - the modern world would not exist without it. It can be used for peace too...

Like in Dante's Inferno- hell for Demons is that they can see into the future till there is no longer a future and they go blind- but they can't see the present or the past.

What if we're like this. We start our lives at death and see our entire lives, but as we move through time, we get younger until we see nothing at all. So really, I didn't remember yester day, I just simply forgot tomorrow.
