Array ( [sid] => 112645 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Religion and Love [time] => 2006-01-06 04:02:08 [hometext] => a little choppy, but i felt it appropriate on this one for some reason....short and sweet [bodytext] => Theres a distance between us
But reticent demeanors
Will not make my good and bad believers
Cause more than you know I need this

Time moves on, and the world along with it
Not often enough do we get second chances
Love is work and we’ll work for love

Time despises love
For only it grasps a lifetime in a moment
Or a moment last a lifetime

Religion and love
Have more in common than I’ll admit
Both rely on faith and hope
The undiscovered truth will always be half-lit

I am the Adam to your Eve
The Want to your Need
I love reliving man’s history
Of true romantic creed [comments] => 3 [counter] => 499 [topic] => 2 [informant] => Benny14 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

...it was a little choppy, but I kind of think the choppiness actually worked...it prevented me from flitting through it, from surfing, from just skimming over the top of it...it forced me to stop and reread...to reconsider...to think...

...for me, the concept of Religion is an inhibiting structure, a man-made box, institutionalized spirituality...

...if by Religion you mean unfettered autonomous spirituality, then I would have to agree that Love is the essence of a healthy Spirituality...

...some good thoughts...thanks for putting them into words and sharing them with all of us...

...thanks...

Benny, Good street philosophy, straight to the heart of it. I especially liked

Time despises love
For only it grasps a lifetime in a moment
Or a moment last a lifetime

nice idea.
