Sleepingspirit’s Plea through { Walt Whitman }.
July 5, 2009
Whoever you are, holding me now in hand,
Without one thing, all will be useless,
I give you fair warning, before you attempt me further,
I am not what you supposed, but far different.
Who is he that would become my follower?
Who would sign himself a candidate for my affections?

WW had such courage. I think that one part of me knows that we transcend time, space, and seperation and yet the rest of me screams that it is forbidden to speak such things.
I think that at some level you must be the only candidate for your affections. Naturally we seek another to reflect our love, appearing as we do to be only a small fragment of existence. Yet how can we be satisfied by a fragment?

Worse yet, a fragment that thinks us merely a fragment.

Mossy – We seek another to indulge in passion and inspiration in order to flourish our lives and taste the superhappiness,
I think “Love” is the only thing could give us hope for a better life and we carry on just because we have romantic ideas and dreams about who would be the candidate for our affections.

“Superhappiness” That is a nice term.
Yes I think that it would be hard to carry on if we did not have hope of love.
