The ship is realy rocking
It makes me very sea sick

I will read this in the morning
And post it back to you.....

Alas tommorw is also a holiday
Happy Valentines to you

And thank you for the information
On the Genes............

I cant stay long in China ,I hate
To be away from the states

I guess they call it home sick.......
So I will write you in the morn

What a Joy to be
All at sea
Planes fly
but she said 'not i'
did i miss a post
that told me most
-ly why Joy is tossed
by lurching breakers?

Not exactly the time
for anything,
just wait it out

"At most, it has been
the accomplice of
human restlessness."

That's Conrad
on the sea, perhaps
tossed around !

(enjoy what you can)

Junk me?

You and
I are
enigma
cloaked in
mystery
-- coded.

We'll show
That even when you try
To communicate "in clear"
It ain't easy


And to eavesdrop ..
so you're sure of what you heard
IS IMPOSSIBLE ! ! ! !

People are too afraid
to "give themselves away"
and so erect walls
static defenses of lies

Clear's safer !
If you're talking in clear
and overheard by someone who doesn't know
the unspoken stuff

They'll say, "Couldn't attack these folks"
"They know their territory -- they'd
wrong foot me in a minute

"But I do see enough, to know this for sure"
"Just now, they ain't attacking me."

Just the thing both sides need to know
to step back from destruction.

. . . .
Clear's safer !
We got e-mail transcripts, as demos
that prove it .

Anybody wanna see?
Some CIA folks saw those e-mails
with my permission,
and my partner's, too
I think maybe they backed off a little bit
after they saw them.


a lot more people
ought to know
how safe it is
to send in CLEAR

If more folks knew
we could all lie less
learn more
and have more fun.

In clear: Lying is more dangerous than people think, and soaks up more attention than people know. We can do less of it. We can send in clear - the message, almost always, will be peaceful. And complex cooperation, now so often terminated with deceptive sequences, could happen more often.

Yes Clear is safe
You Wanna know?

Someone follows me everywhere I go
They takeing pictures of our house

Asking lots of funny questions
Where does my kid sleep?
DO you have an alarm system?

They even stole my email idenitys
I had to shut down 4 yesterday

Set up a hooker site under my name
With Video of another chick I guess

ICQ...MY name was Jade11

I was a nice peaceful artist
Trying to work in the community

Painting and seving on committees
Now I have to watch my back

The strange people from Pennslyvania
Follow me where ever I go

I guess I make people mad
Im sorry about that......

But Im going to keep on living
Try to enjoy life

If I suddenly disapear I guess
You could say my number was up

I am a team playing
Im trying to win this game

But obstlcles and stalkers
Keep getting in my way

Up at the City Hall I have
Lots of friends...........

I think it would be prudent
For people to leave me alone

I mind my own business and
Write and paint and thats

The best I can do
Its like the old story

The Jade Stone they
Wanted to carve a dragon

But it wasnt in the stone
The spirt was more evolved

Than to be a old Dragon
It brought the emporer more

Happiness just left
Alone as it was to begin with

The Ship a metaphor
I live in Florida.....

The stalkers know where

Be careful, folks. We need to live in a world that is safe.

Here are some references:

Deceptions can be expensive in many ways: ..... LEARNING TO STAND

THIS is what we need, many times:

Secular Redemption

And for TRUTH to work, there have to be ways past obstruction, including the obstruction of intimidation, and the obstruction of lies.
