> *laugh* that put a smile on my face...
> No, not so much Pooh, because of the marketing and modern cartoons, etc., but i DO have and have loved (and even related with a tearful smile once or fifty times) the classic A.A.Milne books... with the original illustrations.Oh! Those of course are the best and the humor... my hubby and I would read them to our infant daughter, and roll with laughter at the droll and british sense of wit. She didint get the jokes but she loved the characters all the same. "When We Were Six" Very much taught her to love poetry and feel unbound in her imagiantion for self made words
When she did finally see the disney version (the first four are the only classics) she made me fast forward Tigger, because "He was too rowdy".
Dear sweet days of Pooh.
Now it is more serious stuff like Nancy Drew and her predesessor Trixie Bellden. They have read so many classics that it seems that a lttle pablum is in order. At least there are problem solving skills and great girl heroes involved.> Oh Yes! Eyore! *sigh* for some reason i think of "The Last Unicorn" by Peter S. Beale...
> Reading to each other is SO PRECIOUS KEWL. My SO and i used to read "The Little Prince" by Antoine De Saint-Exupery to each other.I do enjoy The Little Prince immensely, but the end of course seems so sad.
> And sad erotic love poems. Ancient Chinese ones have interesting presence... or check out "This Is My Beloved" by Walter Benton

That sounds delighful. I had in mind to make them all dog catchters. But the poor doggies...

hmmmmm... how does one answer such a question nowdays? My Christian church is on the eastern side of the world, where monk hermits still pray in caves, and incence flows up like prayer, and real oil lamps are tended night and day. I have been fortunate to find only 90 miles from my home such a place where people walk in and hear angels singing. Where golds and reds, candles and incense and largeness of heart ecompasses all who enter. And where the path of the truest diciple decends deeply inward.
I hope that answer your question.

Thank you

> Immensely! Theory and laws, but not the math. Especially quantum and the newest theories & discoveries. The older classic physics, i always read really fun humour into it from abstract life.

No, is it interesting?

> Actually i prefer to have both 'treated' and 'non-altered' thought processes --at different times for different reasons. But i can get too overwhelmed by simultaneous experiencing/thinking sometimes... or too 'controlled' by what i laughingly call (my Adderall pills) "Nazi time coagulators".
Do you have a good and cooperative doctor?
I think really in end, we should be allowed to order however we want to feel, since in fact, that seems to be what they are selling.In the pslams David says the hills skipped like unicorns.
I hope we shall see them again someday. Until then I think we'll have to settle for Shadowfax.We just finished watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Draggon. As you were saying, the oriental stories of love and passion often seem starcrossed in the end.
