I like that. It's simple, but very wise.

Oh, are they coming out left?

I love you big bro

Good one, Sue.

I just wish I had answers instead of making more problems.

Maybe I've been getting to be too directive.

oooohhhh - if we can have wishes can I wish for more choccy buttons - Ive ran out now

What makes you think you are making more problems ?

You're not making more problems, Mark. We're all interacting and learning from one another. Your caring intentions are very clear. Don't forget to take care of you too. Thanks for being a good friend.

Tool: Schism

I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away

Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing

Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers' souls in motion

Disintegrating as it goes, testing our communication

The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so

We cannot see to reach an end, crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down

No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire

To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over

To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squarin' off between

And the circling is worth it, finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit but I watched them fall away

Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting

I've done the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing

Doomed to crumble unless we grow and strengthen our communication

Cold silence has

A tendency to

Atrophy any

Sense of compassion

Between supposed brothers

Between supposed lovers

I don't think you make problems malign. I appreciate your words.

Hope you're okay today.

I don't think you make problems either! There, you have officially been "outvoted"! No more lefties from your head!
