Patti Oh I totally get what you are saying on DQ - thanks for adding to my thought of the social disparities, and the imagery in DQ of Nobility and the quest for justice, it surely can tie into social indifference... Very admirable what you added. Sounds like you were exposed to some of the sadness down that way in the flood...makes you think. DQ is my opener in my myspace playlist - not that THAT will matter a whit in a hundred years - but Gords music, and most certainly the flood - will.
You surely caught on and added to the imagery and nobility of what I was reaching for myself there - thanks for the imagery you reminded me and everyone of in DQ too.
Peterbro I hear ya -I come here for many of the same reasons.... good people.... good thoughts,,its infectious, when you're down, invariably someone reminds you of a song that cheers you up, and vice-versa !
. Sounds like an admirable quest your wife Dani was on - to not turn her head to strife, to go and see and feel it, and see if anything reaches out to the humane side we all to often forget.
- Naw I wasn't sweatin' it as G Carlin said - just being polite in cognizance of the important stuff you brought in the thread - and come to find out - you meant some levity as well....very thoughtful...
All's cool PeterBro, I thought I had perhaps impolitely strayed myself to far from the important subject of the thread.. now I know you're not at all sweatin' the little things, and advise I don't either. Sound advice, my man.
When you get down to it, most people only ( in my experience) give just a minor glimpse into some of the greatest humane and compassionate things - or brave/heroic things they have done, and typically out of humility, pretty much do not advertise it or verbally brandish it in social settings. I've been astounded at just the people I have met in this corfid venue, and some of the heroics and personal sacrifice they have endured, and given of themselves, and nary a word of it, unless they feel it will help someone further.What a group of people ~
