we or at least one of us will explane a bump every time someone asks, its not an invention of kirks but of board members lol gala bumped one of mine first so... a bump is used not as a way to mock but as you sugest max as a way of high respect ...its only used to show this poem touched one deep and this is how it touched one by giving insperation to write a poem along said lines... i like bumps cause it shows how a poem can touch and reflects far more than any praise just how words can affect one<BR>
if your poem touches me and i write a bump it may only reflect a name or a feeling but those both came from this poem that i say i am bumping because this poem touched me this way...<BR>

A Missive To the Wiccan on "Death",<BR>
<BR>
You sensed right...your post didn't exactly belong where you put it. It belonged more on THIS page, mostly because it is not prose or poetry type stuff. It's a letter, or a message to the people here. But that's okay. Many people make the same mistake.<BR>
<BR>
I'm not clear as to WHY you wrote it and submitted it to the Blender though. It IS clear that you are troubled and confused. But I suppose, as you stated, it makes total sense to you. I could read into it and assume you're talking about suicide, but then I'd have to question why you would reach out to people on the net rather than the friends you mentioned. Maybe that is just another facet of the intricate design of the internet. A phenomenon I will never fully understand. One thing I am getting the impression of is that you are young. You mentioned that you'd never written anything so "deep". I hope you remain long enough to experience the truly VAST deepness that this existence has to offer. It is apparent that you are missing much. Find out what that is. As a Wiccan you can do that because, as a Wiccan, you know that the Earth and all her inhabitants are required to live out their existence to learn everything they are meant to learn, and cutting that short is a failure to all spirits. We are not to take away life or to speed death. Ours, or anyone else's. (No, I am not Wiccan.)<BR>
<BR>
To quote a beautiful soul who comes here, "Light and Love to you." May you bathe in those life giving waters.<BR>
<BR>
Deep Peace of the Gentle Earth to You,<BR>

I personally don't like the term "bump", though I like the process.  But, like so much else on the Blender, it was a naturally ocurring phenomenon, and it's not that bad a term anyway, so "bump" it is.

TJ Holland and Wiccan Blender Member,<BR>

TJ, I read the anonymous post and I too wondered if suicide or a "cry for help" was not the primary motivation.  I find the topics of theology and deviant social thoughts very interesting.  However, my first thought was why go through all this trouble in submitting only to remain an unknown?  The way you went about submitting your thoughts (even going as far as to stress the fact that we would never be able to contact you) seems like the wrong way to go about asking for a response.  Just a thought.<BR>
<BR>
Kirk, I notice that frequently, certain posts are nameless and without evidence of setting up an account - how is that possible under your current system?<BR>
<BR>
Have a good day, all<BR>

Hi Rhet!<BR>
<BR>
It's no surprise that we share certain thoughts and are interested in some of the same things. We've noticed that before. We rock!<BR>
<BR>
Just wanted to clarify to anyone who read your last comment that I am NOT the Wiccan chick!! Rhet just lapsed from addressing ME to addressing HER in the same paragraph! LOL!<BR>
<BR>
Jeeze Rhet! You're gonna frame me and get me in trouble!<BR>
<BR>
Luv ya,<BR>

TJ...<BR>
I didn't even realize that my post would place YOU as the Wiccan.  Not that being Wiccan is a bad thing - but, I was simply attempting to comment to both of you.<BR>
<BR>
Yes, we do see things similarly - and we do rock.  We are two of many very cool chics (and men) on this site.  I adore the dialogue that the board facilitates.  As for getting into trouble - I am trying to keep my nose clean as well!  I have seen my fair share (AND everyone elses fair share, for that matter) of drama 'round here.<BR>

Peace Out, Poets!<BR>

Dylan ~ <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.03.06.16.58.17040">I Spring-Loved You</a> was an eloquent piece. So romantically descriptive of the course of a loving relationship spanning a lifetime. Or, perhaps, a short lived but vibrantly full one? Regardless, the word-wondrous work was very much as you said; reminiscent of Dylan Thomas. Thank you!
