I know that much of it is intended to be sad, so there is that. Some it is just the brilliance of the words. Sometimes I think that maybe if it were set to music it would leave me feeling happier. Of course, that would all depend on the music, now wouldn't it?<br /><br />On a totally different note, I have had this thought rocketing around my brain of late that I would like to be you when I grow up. Not because I think all of the same things you do (clearly), but because of your ability to allow for so many conflicting thoughts to occupy the same space... and you still sort through it all. You always look for the way to get through any situation by applying more love.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142287751037233827.post-26548304145104582492012-05-09T14:24:30.918-07:002012-05-09T14:24:30.918-07:00I am so glad you started with Langston Hughes.

Quite biblical and philosophical, esp. for someone whose mind is that of a Christian scientist. I am a doubter, a thinker, and a ponderizer and believer.<br /><br />I hope one day to write just that, as suggested. Something new.<br /><br /><br /> - EricEric W.
