In the dead of night
Beware of sadness
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for
Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks

Tammy Bruce: Who’s Jonah? posted by “Maynard”:
Now this was an odd moment. I was visiting an interactive Internet environment, and had engaged in a philosophical discussion with an aggressively atheistic Englishman and a perplexedly agnostic Dane. I attempted to explain how my rational mind concluded that science could not account for the totality of human [...]

January- war and peace
January 16th, 2007 · No Comments · Conversation, Conviviality
