    The good times have gone, and that isn’t for the good. #thought

    Are commodities the things that are sold, or the things that are sold to. #thought

    To know souls exist, you need only see one depart. #thought

    Though money doesn’t buy happiness, is does a great job of distracting you with the meaningless. #thought

    When you take more than you need you’ve transitioned, to greed.

    Too often, loss is that which makes us aware of what we assumed we had.

    Manners here, are not the same as elsewhere. Would that there was a button to acknowledge sight of a tweet, there is not…

    All I can say, is that I try to make the things I think, and the things I say, the same. Sometimes, I fail.

    While we may believe our words are pure truth, the real truth is that truth is invariably modified by perception. #thought

    I’d rather be judged for my words, than for my silence.

    When laws are held higher than justice, money is more valuable than morals. #thought

    My beliefs. The life we lead, is our only one so lead it well. Respect those of other ilk. Take no more than your share. Share knowledge.

    If ignorance is divided, is it any less stupid? #thought

    Sharing ignorance serves neither the sharer, nor their victim.

    Suffering is something you alone can bear, or with the ones you love, may share. #thought

    Why is it that the times of most profound insight seem to come at those most painful? #thought

    There is no “us and them”, it takes individuals to make “them”, just as it takes you and me to make “we”. #thought

    What happened to our childhood, things were so simple, way back then. Full of fear, will such carefree times ever come again. #thought

    Some truth can’t be told in words of a single syllable.

    Shades of words from those long dead? Not mine… they’re only echoes of me, instead.

    A rhyme without a truth embedded therein is more simply said a lie. #thought

    Those who place themselves upon a pedestal, will likely never feel it, when they fall. #thought

    #iam What is… a real man? Might this mythical monster be one who knows that with women, why, we would simply never be. #thought

    {JuliaGem} Julia, in a sultry voice, “Do you have need for the company of a fine southern lady?”

    A lifetime is as naught, when count on eternity’s scale. #thought http://bit.ly/CGApWrb

    If one life isn’t enough, you’re doing it all wrong. #thought

    Family: for me a good place, for you… I hope the same. #thought

    Don’t you just hate it when your muse is too long-winded for Twitter? I don’t, then again, sometimes I do… {a poem} http://bit.ly/CGApWrb

    Wisdom, is not a thing of age, We all feel its strike, when we gaze upon mortality. #thought

    If you write for art the art is in the telling of your tale not in grammar broken for no purpose than to set yourself apart. #thought

    Today is nothing more than a mold to shape us into tomorrow. #thought

    While hate can tear you apart, love can get you together. #thought

    Wow, just… wow. Just read a bio that said “teacher, ordained minister, prophet”… Not following wasn’t hard. {I love double negatives!}

    Art tests limits, breaks barriers, discards convention, and builds new paths toward frontiers only the artist can reveal. #thought

    Home, it’s where the broken mend. #thought

    Intimacy is more than an act. #thought

    Malmaxa is a better world within my mind, a philosophy of how humanity might be. http://bit.ly/CGAmb1s will it change the world, @SFWC? No.

    As an author of philosophy couched as fantasy, namely http://bit.ly/CGAmb1s why do I pollute my timeline with politics? You tell me…

    The words we say, with those we mean so cleverly concealed, in unseen lines, between. #thought

    How often I never see, that which lies right in front of me… #thought

    Strip away their cover, and all that’s left, is content…

    Home, it’s where we can be our real we. #thought

    Who we are isn’t the things others see, it’s our heavy heart, with our mind mixed in, and liberally spiced, with soul. #thought

    My wife and I disagree on the #NSA watching everything we do, she’s really upset they aren’t “liking” her Facebook page…

    When the heart holds what the hand cannot. #thought

    You are not the sum of your flaws. #thought

    When you meet a flawless being, you’ve encountered divinity, or more simply, a dream. #thought

    My favorite review, by far. If my writing interests you, start here. http://bit.ly/CGAxAM @akmakansi

    Cupped hands down with my palms up in the African gesture of gratitude and generosity, received. #thought

    Are the words we share hints of the life we lead, even if only within our dreams. #thought

    Corporations aren’t citizens, they aren’t bound by morals, and they shouldn’t be allowed to lobby. Simple.

    Move on, so easy to say, so difficult to do, especially when you really don’t want to. #thought

    If freedom’s cost is our memory, a slave to the past, would I rather be.

    Perhaps it’s possible our best friends might be those we never meet…

    If within our dreams we’d rather dwell, what of our world does that tell? That life, is no longer living, but hell? #thought

    Each of us can change our circumstances, only the greatest can change the world. #thought

    Our limitations, are not necessarily our shortcomings. #thought

    The things we think, the thoughts we glean, the things other wish, went unseen. #thought

    Un-met friends, offer excellent advice. On @akmakansi’s advice I’m including a Prologue for Beltamar’s War. http://bit.ly/CGAxAM

    Pain etches sculptures, poignant and true. #thought

    The eye that never glimpses pain, has no need to make its own rain. #thought

    The essential role of government is service to its citizens – this cannot be privatized without abandoning government. #thought

    While there is nothing naive about idealism, there is something terrible about decrying it. #thought

    The problem with censorship really is “who watches the watchers”. Who decides what we should and should not know? #thought

    Imposing order on chaos would be an inappropriate imposition. #thought

    I can explain it is a few, simple words. The corporations buy laws, the politicians sell laws – an imperfect circle.

    Splash in expediency’s shallow waters, or delve the depths of despair, for wisdom might dwell there. #thought

    let me go, or set me free, friends often know what’s best, for me.

    Friends are a breath of fresh air, indeed, their presence as a breeze, their parting, a sad sigh.

    RT @MissAnonNews Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Our privacy, is sacrosanct. Please join me in calling on the NSA and the US government to @stopwatchingus Sign this https://stopwatching.us

    When citizens fear their government, its time to get a new government.

    NSA don’t care who you are, where you live, or what you do. They’re already, watching you… @Canadian_Cath *Chuckle*, they already are…

    If language is a boundary, might emotion be its key. #thought

    Poetry, more than mere rhyme, poetry, opens the mind. Poetry, truly from the heart, doth deeper wisdom, impart.

    Is the first granted kiss, that which sets false love remiss. #thought

    if a love is false, how can it last, best end it… fast.

    So much pain, and for what, an unrequited kiss, this is no gain.

    Years of youth remain as memories true, nothing can tear these from you.

    You know what appalls me most about #Snowden? The US govt has overstepped its bounds, by far – Snowden is a hero, yet we remain silent.

    Are scars things of beauty, duty, or pain? Badges of honor, or reminders of rain? Symbols we cherish, or marks we’d not miss. #thought

    Doing wrong, with intent of doing right… This is the premise of poorly conceived fantasy, it has no place in reality. #thought

    Broken Laws —<>— Compromised Morals. … Which way will your scale tilt? #thoughtBroken Laws —<>— Compromised Morals. … Which way will your scale tilt? #thought

    Unless you promise never to tell, you, Mr. #Snowden, are going straight to hell… well, a hell, of man’s making. I applaud your courage.

    To Mr. Edward Snowden, IMHO a Hero of Liberty and Constitutional Justice. #Snowden chose doing something, over evil. http://bit.ly/CGApHES

    Yesterday, will all my tomorrows be my yesterday. torn away, drive all day, back home, I long to be, there I’ll stay, just for yesterday.

    Surprise: finding I still have followers after I spoke out about #Snowden. Perhaps people aren’t as bad as I thought. http://bit.ly/CGApHES

    Together, we are more, than when we stand alone. #thought

    Forever, is far longer than the word. #thought

    “He took some comfort knowing his family gazed on Luna’s glory – by her next rise to full…” http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054RFWU2

    I did, and wondered how something so glorious could strike me so low while lifting the spirits of some to new highs. @cldavieswriter

    Humanity: foulers of their only nest. “Thinking” creatures, with scant regard for any others.

    We’ve risen high, to touch the sky, we leave our marks, even there. Vapor trails upon the wind acid-etched, on Mother Nature’s eye.

    Some days you’re high, others, low. A week of the later and I realize, we have nowhere to go. #OneEarth

    “all things will pass”, this mood as well. Forgive me for pouring pain on all of you. Positivity will return.

    Perhaps the most profound advice I’ve ever received is, “Get over yourself” – time for me to stop tweeting, and do just that.

    So you’d rather be a lion, than a lamb… strange, how lambs will watch your species die, without a single tear shed, from their gentle eye.

    we have only one. “The next time you throw something away remember, there is no away…” – a smarter soul than me. @_____Allie_____

    Sometimes we can’t see the wood for the trees, likely because the bark is in our eye, not our grumbling voice. #thought
