It's a pity that our entire language isn't comprised of such nice words. everything would flow more, and maybe we wouldn't live in a world that is being replaced with blacktop, buildings, and factories. How nice it would be if everything was as it was before people started changing it all. looking out in my yard, i see a grove of oak trees. past that, a field barren with winter. although i'd rather see that land as a field than a subdivision, it makes me sad to think that the fields were once forests. sigh. people are always taking away from nature and adding their own things. so little flow. people hurry hurry hurry to make themselves happier and things more convenient, while they would be much happier if they just sat still and stopped worrying about things. I don't know what it is about me, but i would be perfectly content to spend my days sitting by a river on a grassy bank in the shade of an oak tree, watching the clouds and listening to the birds and everything else. Is it impossible, though? of course not... but for the rest of the world? unless something drastic happens, yeah. i just want peace, tranquility, and halcyon days. days without worry and days without hurry. people think they own the world, that something gave them the right to disregard it as they go about playing with their manmade things, disregarding it so completely that they don't realize that they're destroying it. note: i wouldn't have this printed anywhere but h0e, and resisted all urges to edit or refine it, though it now sounds immature and sappy. oh well. maybe *now* you'll get off my back about writing for hoe, eh? :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * (c) HoE publications.
