  Do you still pray/talk to yourself like you used to?or wish very hard?

  by Crumpet in

  i find that i still have an internal dialogue - a bit like i used to when i walked around talking to god like my life depended on it trying to cultivate that elusive relationship with him.

  i like to call it internal dialogue because otherwise they could bring in the mental health professionals...don't ask me who "they" are - do i look/act/sound paranoid?!

  so before "they" take me away: do you still find you talk to yourself in your head when you see things of especial beauty that might previously have inspired a prayer of thanks (and maybe still do - don't worry i am over with the castigation of the religious, for now!)?

  When I used to pray, I never felt like I was talking to myself. There was always that Someone who was hopefully listening. So now my internal dialogues are usually conversations with another "person", sometimes a person I know irl and sometimes an imaginary friend I've had for five years or so. (Actually I don't really talk to my imaginary friend because we exist in parallel universes and have never met "irl" in my head, if you know what I mean.) Or I'll try to solve problems of my own making, like lately I've been working on how to build a bridge across the Atlantic. And also, if I owned a buffalo, could I ride him to work on the Tollway if I velcro'ed my tolltag to his forehead?

  Okay, I think I may be the one who needs the white coats.

  As far as being appreciative about nature and such, I can't recall ever praying in gratitude for stuff like that. I just enjoy in silence, without words, inside or out.

  If you ever get a chance read the book Mutant Message From Down Underhand which is about aborigines and their ancient ability to communicate through thought across many many miles.

  I love your eclectic taste in books - definitely have to check this one out.

  it's june 3rd, my mum's 66th birthday had she still been alive.... she passed away in 94 from cancer of the blood, she was diagnosed 3 weeks before.

  she'd been experiencing severe pain in her legs and hips for months before hand.

  but between taking care of her mother and the dub duties she couldn't get to see a doctor.

  (((Brinjen))) I know how you feel. Birthdays and Mother's Day are tough when Mum's gone, even though we never celebrated them when she was here.

  Noisy Neighbours - what do you do?!

  okay so here is the scenario:.

  i finally acquaint myself with the "floating ship" that is my four poster bed about 1.30 am, finish watching a favourite lullaby horror movie - wolf creek and close my eyes.. minutes later a door slams right next to my ear and then another and what sounds like a gaggle of adolescent girls (reminiscent of the current manless debacle that is big brother uk this year) screams their way into the flat next door at high volume.

  they are talking so loud i can hear every inane word they say.

  Leave it alone guys......enough is enough.

  Enough apathy, you mean? Five years and counting - you're absolutely right. Enough is enough. How many died this week? Or are you too busy leaving it alone?

  Wow. That was one powerful "letter". Did you even read it, Warlock?

  Thanks for the link, Six. I've never read that soldier's blog, but I'm definitely going to check it out.

  Cindy Sheehan quits the fight

  "casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next american idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while democrats and republicans play politics with human lives.

  "it is so painful to me to know that i bought into this system for so many years, and casey paid the price for that allegiance.

  i failed my boy and that hurts the most.".

  "She was not fighting anything for her son she was fighting against everything he believed in and fought for. She wasn't thinking of him at all only her own grief. I think he would be ashamed of her and her actions."

  This is cold. Do you have children?

  I've been to Crawford to protest the war. I've met Cindy Sheehan along with many other parents whose children died for nothing in Iraq. She was very reluctant to take on the spokesperson role, and in fact, said over and over again that day as she met so many people, "This isn't about me." Bet you didn't see that on the news. The media spun her and America bought it.
