    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

    Every thought, has a eloquent counter, perfect peace, is threatened by unjust war, the wind blows, soon to still, my heart, never will.

    The years pass, early dreams fade, and slowly slip, away. Be thankful for our dreams, anew.

    Peace: often a harder choice, than war. Lies: often an easier path, than truth. #thought

    Economics, as justification for war? Why does it seem I have seen this sentiment, before. Wrong it was then, and is no less so, now.

    Does anyone remember the crucifixion of Michael Jackson in the court of public opinion, as hosted by the mass-media? http://bit.ly/CGApTR

    Public opinion, is like a seductress’ kiss, it sways first that way, then this…

    Is fate’s flow, the universe’s hidden pulse? #thought

    Lies, sufficient for a lifetime. Love, sufficient for a day. #thought

    Bitten, by an unseen bug, is remedy for its affliction, to be enveloped, in a loving hug. A tender touch is cure, for most any ill.

    Our Luna, in wondrous perigee, has stripped all joy from me. Fade fast, that I might lift up my eye and be not brought to so sad a sigh.

    The worst of business travel is how you go places, yet never visit, or get to know them.

    I’ve traveled the world, witnessed the sun, fully shaded by the moon, and held hands in the smoke that thunders.

    Yet the most exotic place to which I’ve ever been, is right here, deep inside my very own dreams. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054RFWU2

    As long as they don’t hear you, you can laugh at whoever you wish.

    True patriotism is a love of country, not blind obedience to government. #thought

    A government suspicious of its citizens deserves its citizens’ suspicion. #thought

    I’ll cut the metaphor, for a moment. For revealing the “without due cause” surveillance activities of the US Govt, Snowden is a hero.

    “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke. Snowden took the hard road, and did something.

    The heart isn’t hurt by words never heard. #thought

    RT “@Agapi71 the heart is hurt, by words unheard.” Beautiful counterpoint.

    I’ve got nothing against blocked accounts that let me follow back, but the ones that won’t? Sorry, but I’m not going to play that game.

    Social media, a place in which we only see, faces painted, by deception’s art. #thought

    Here the only things I’ll ever see, are the words you choose, and share with me.

    Censorship: just another tool in the arsenal of the influential.

    What a sad day it is when the land of the free strives to silence the brave. @AFP

    “Ryntam’s figure commonly drew the secretive eyes of men” http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054RFWU2 The glances we grant, with desire others not see. #thought

    so many memories, so many words unsaid, so many words, withheld.

    Are regrets the building blocks of dreams? #thought

    A 742 mile drive awaits me on the morrow, so it is time for me to end today. #goodnight

    Back to basics for me, in a motel with 6 rooms total. They actually left the lights on, and the door to my room unlocked. Wonderful!

    Feel no sorrow for the words we lose, for they are the ones others get to use. #thought

    Let pretentious pricks be the ones to burst their own bubbles. #thought

    Words, things most are willing to impart, yet which few will willingly take to heart. #thought

    Ignorance of the past ensures ignorance in the future. #thought

    Homo sapiens: an allegedly intelligent species apparently incapable of learning from its many mistakes.

    Fear has no place here. #thought

    A genuine smile relieves the most dismal mood. #thought

    Anyone who admits to telling a lie, tells the truth. Anyone who claims never to have lied, is a liar. #thought

    Does anyone else find it creepy to be followed by locked accounts that won’t let you follow them back? I’m considering blocking them.

    The consensus is in, got a lock on your door, and won’t let me in… It’s goodbye to you, since I’m slamming mine.
