An explanation...

Most times you can find me in the middle, Straddling the fence, trying to make sense, Just sometimes I get so totally incensed, That I just have to expound & put off pretense� I do not support war, fighting gets one nowhere, I find myself of late to despair, Almost to the point of being unable to myself repair, The world as we all know can be anything but fair, Please to understand that my feelings within, Did even for me of late to create an internal scare� Music does, per those that know, calm the savage breast, As it does this for most, it does as well for myself, I sit here and write and listen to Pachelbels Canon In D, This is the best to relax by, this really does it for me, Please know I am not a killer, nor a destroyer, I am simply a man of feeling, a bit of a patriot of sorts, A member of the human race wishing for peace, Looking for order, searching for a painless society� � ed ~ 6/9/06

Sadly, there are those who hate freedom and have no room in their world for liberty...these are two things that I pray I never have to live without and that one day will be the birthright of every human on our planet.
Take care,
Sherry

I'm swimming with you too. Peace is just beyond our reach but if we grab one another's hand then we can encircle the negative and stroll in peace!

...and harmony!

I just commented on your last post. Don't be apologetic Ed, we all have bad days like that and we should all understand each other in these trying times. I speak for love and peace, but when I see the media applauding people like Zarkhowi, I want to scream and curse. We are after all only human! Rest easy, you are one of the good guys!;-) Rufuz, give him a big licky kiss!;-)Woof!
Love,
Eileen
