hey, thanks for the encouragement... im not planning on selling myself short, but.. its just frusterating haveing so much to give and no one to give it too.. oh dear. bitching again.
as to emmerson... how can you NOT read him? try "Brahama". its beautiful

true, i love that. the brahaman is a holy and wise man, perhaps not a deity, i dont think, but thats a new avenue of thought to wander down.
look at the last lines
"but thou, meek lover of the good!
find me, and turn thy back on heaven"
i love that line... its like, heaven isnt what we should be striving for, its self-enlitenment, self awarness, and love. its awarness of everything thats going on around us, and the shattering of illusions to cut to the truth.
its wonderful
peace out

Right now I'm reading The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri (Dante<3).
Wha's Brahama about?

read for yourself... to me, its beautiful. its about reality. but how you interpret it is your own.

Poems
Brahma
If the red slayer think he slays,
Or if the slain think he is slain,
They know not well the subtle ways
I keep, and pass, and turn again.
Far or forgot to me is near,
Shadow and sunlight are the same,
The vanished gods to me appear,
And one to me are shame and fame.
They reckon ill who leave me out;
When me they fly, I am the wings;
I am the doubter and the doubt,
And I the hymn the Brahmin sings.
The strong gods pine for my abode,
And pine in vain the sacred Seven;
But thou, meek lover of the good!
Find me, and turn thy back on heaven.
1856 [1857]
Criticism on "Brahma." Commentary by Emily Bilodeau.

Interesting n.n
I looked up Brahma in the dictionary:
(in later Hinduism) βthe Creator,β the first member of the Trimurti, with Vishnu the Preserver and Shiva the Destroyer.
So to take that in with the poem...may also mean about what being a creator means...that being a creator is being everything...
