Thank You Mark Unseen   Sep 12 18:53 UTC 1994

BETTER

Letting go of a bruised past
The Man stumbles into uncertain paths

He has come so far that He must
NOT EVER
Give His fears room to defeat
The Possibilities of Joy
which He has

Too much has occured

There should be no shouting at the Life
save that by shouting He should make
a Friend of it,
A refuge to hold on to when
Hell comes calling
With Demons no Single Soul could suffer

He has walked far
But He has walked blind
For He felt He was alone
Without hope

And in despair and fear
He fell faint,
weary of His Argument towards Life

And in His weakness
His Friends came to His side
And lent Their strength
When He had none

By Their Love
His Argument was won
And He has made
A Friend of His Life

And He shall go on,
Strong through His Friends

I believe in saying what I feel.  And I felt thankful.
Thanks... I sorta think in a way it might be the best 'poem' I've ever
written.

So where is everyone now?  I've just moved back to Ann Arbor area
within the last month and a half..  Before that I was in Saginaw...
A lot of time has gone by since this conference started... in the
words of VH1 (among numerous others) What ever happened to...

So share, tell us a story...

        Ypsilanti, again.  God I love that city.  Don't ask me to explain it.
It's like the Downtown to Ann Arbor's Uptown, only a little further away than
you'd normally expect.

Amsterdam.
Finally made it back to the place of birth.
Ok, it was a mere shift from the suburbs into downtown (seedier, 
dirtier, more crime, more fires but also more fun and a georgeous 
apartment).

response 24 of 186: Mark Unseen   Jul 24 10:21 UTC 1998

<lee has never been to Amsterdam>

clees, what's it like there?  (*wonders* if you've been to the States or 
else it would be hard for you to compare too...)
