Of course you don't know me.  Isn't that what sites like this are for;  faceless, fearless communication? I'm very glad you are getting married.  I hope that he fullfills are your deepest needs and desires.  Never fear, there will be no eruptions from me after the phrase "speak now or forever hold your peace..."  What a ridiculous time to ask such a question.  What I really wanted you to know is that I am facsinated by your poetry and writings.  I had never been on this site before and as I was browsing through I became enthralled with your postings.  I wish I were a publisher; I would ask to negotiate a deal with you :) Oh, well.  Best of luck on your future, I wish the best for you.  <BR>

Dear Slug,<BR>
<BR>
          (((((Hugs))))))) First and foremost....now...on to the rest...life...change...love...all that good stuff. The scientists will tell you that all matter is constantly in a stage of change---evolution, whatever you care to call it. They will also tell you that change does not always mean for the better---but I say that some things we are meant to learn from, and the learning part isn't always easy.   <BR>
<BR>
           Love by it's very nature fosters a change in us.Every time we are touched by it, we become a little different. Old Master Willie made the comment about it being better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all. Cold comfort to someone who just lost, I'll tell you---but all too true. When we are lucky, the change is for the good, making us more complete than we were.<BR>
<BR>
           Change can suck...big time. Love can be a roller coaster ride---leaving you spinning and shrieking and holding on for dear life---then furious when it ends all too soon. So you decide to try again---and you wonder why.<BR>
Aren't we all setting our selves up from that first whispered "I love you?"<BR>
<BR>
           But I think it's worth it. A heart shared grows more broad...and love shared makes us think beyond ourselves, beyond our own needs, and beyond our own pleasures. If it doesn't make us grow, it's a crush, a fascination---or even an obsession. Some people call those love too..but then, some people think Carob tastes like chocolate. I think it tastes like Ex-Lax...and nothing my dear Slug tastes like the real thing.<BR>
<BR>
           Take care, and remember that love isn't a luxury item...but a fundament. Can we live without it? Yes...but i don't call that living. There have been times when love was all I could afford...and I made it through. Extra hugs...those we love make the road well worth taking....<BR>
<BR>
