> Nostalgia for the past and past sense of oneself is a very 4ish style. You never lose inner resources, but your identity can change and you can forget that you have them.
That's true, and not the first time I've heard that recently.

Hmm. The urge is to have fun with this and wax either poetic or pornographic. LOL. I'll have to think about this and deal with it privately.
> Has there ever been a time when you felt like her? When? What did it feel like?
----------------------------
Yes, and yes. Felt great. Comes back when I concentrate on it.
> Complexity often comes first in chaos, then a reorganization of that chaos into a higher order of self and being. The answers are often clear when you look ahead and see that self looking back at your present/past life, knowing that this is so in the future making it so in the present, so your future which is your present becomes your past and everything makes sense just enough to let it be with knowing and faith in the expectation of the emergence of the future as it has passes into you.

This is very new and interesting, very good stuff. I am a believer that perception is at the core of being and movement through life, so this, is excellent. I need to absorb and think about this more.
>Can one be empathetic rather than sympathetic?
---------------------
Again, a good kicker, and the obvious answer is 'of course.' I need to absorb, think, etc.
Some tomatoes, cukes, endive, red peppers would be nice............

Hmm. Dinner, my place. (Kidding.)
