What does forgiveness really mean? Does it mean to totally excuse people who have treated you wrongly, brought you suffering and pain? Act as if it really doesn't matter now? If it does, then, no, there are some people I will never forgive. On the other hand, if it means that I will attempt to resolve myself not to allow thoughts of them to consume my thinking and emotions, and dictate my psychological responses, then, yes, I think I can forgive them.

You are correct, sir.

Here's one that's practically a freebie CRAZY

Chubby is from NYC. HERE is his song about the 9/11 attacks.

Yeah. I love it when he says, "Now this is the sad part."

I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles. You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you. ------Walt Whitman

All Is Truth By Walt Whitman 1819-1892 O me, man of slack faith so long, Standing aloof, denying portions so long, Only aware to-day of compact all-diffused truth, Discovering to-day there is no lie or form of lie, and can be none, but grows as inevitably upon itself as the truth does upon itself, Or as any law of the earth or any natural production of the earth does. (This is curious and may not be realized immediately, but it must be realized, I feel in myself that I represent falsehoods equally with the rest, And that the universe does.) Where has fail'd a perfect return indifferent of lies or the truth? Is it upon the ground, or in water or fire? or in the spirit of man? or in the meat and blood? Meditating among liars and retreating sternly into myself, I see that there are really no liars or lies after all, And that nothing fails its perfect return, and that what are called lies are perfect returns, And that each thing exactly represents itself and what has preceded it, And that the truth includes all, and is compact just as much as space is compact, And that there is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth--but that all is truth without exception; And henceforth I will go celebrate any thing I see or am, And sing and laugh and deny nothing.

Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this: The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift, The baffled king composing Hallelujah

And mighty tasty, too.

Seriously, though. (kinda) Listen to the lyrics to those tunes and it will make you shutter with a way-speak flashback. And, WTF?? A choir singing a "145...12 bar" format in a major key with an antiquated boogie woogie bass line??? They must have reached up in Daddy's cookie jar and got their hands slapped with that one.

What can I add except, "You go, girl!"

Oddly, it made us (my friends and I) all suddenly feel so vulnerable. Oh, I don't mean we thought someone was going to assassinate us. I mean we no longer had that sense of security as a nation that we had only hours before.

Forty seven years ago I sat there, in Mr. Blake's Earth Science class,in stunned disbelief, as the shocking news of JFK's shooting came over the school P.A. system. It all seemed surreal. School was immediately dismissed. A small group of us walked home in almost total silence. Life as we knew it was forever changed.

I think Sam Cooke had already left the planet by the time Soul Man was released.

I'll guess Sam Moore.

I can't speak for WG, Twinky, but I really doubt she's offended. It's just one of those kinda lighthearted, sarcastic things that's not easily transitioned across the internet. But, I could be wrong. :o

They're singing about the standard stuff we were fed in The Renewed Mind class. Stuff like, "Joy is not an emotion.", blah, blah, blah. I'd like to see them cover .

What is "The All Truth"?

Holy Moly!!
