The Prophet Kahlil Gibran (p16&17)

Then Almitra spoke again and said, And what of marriage, master?
And he answered saying: You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of god. But let there be spaces in your togetherness.
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
let it rather be a moving see between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another your bread but eat not of the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the stings of a lute are alone they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each others keeping.
For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
for the pillars of a temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow

NY Times Cites Ender's Game Influence in Military Training
April 4, 2003


One notion involves a scenario quite literally torn from the pages of a science fiction novel, in which a virtual training system becomes the actual means of waging war. Ender's Game, a cult classic by Orson Scott Card, tells the story of a group of young soldiers battling aliens in a video game. In the end, they emerge to find that their victory has saved humankind, and that it was not a game.



"Ender's Game has had a lot of influence on our thinking," said Michael Macedonia, director of the Army's simulation technology center in Orlando, Fla., which plans to build a virtual Afghanistan that could host hundreds of thousands of networked computers. "The intent is to build a simulation that allows people to play in that world for months or years, participate in different types of roles and see consequences of their decisions."

Absence: A Poem

I LOVE YOU MY ANGEL...this made me think of you....

Winds of Change.NET: Absence: A Poem: "Absence: A Poem
by Amy Lowell (1874 - 1925)
My cup is empty to-night,
Cold and dry are its sides,
Chilled by the wind from the open window.
Empty and void, it sparkles white in the moonlight.
The room is filled with the strange scent
Of wistaria blossoms.
They sway in the moon's radiance
And tap against the wall.
But the cup of my heart is still,
And cold, and empty.
When you come, it brims
Red and trembling with blood,
Heart's blood for your drinking;
To fill your mouth with love
And the bitter-sweet taste of a soul."
