Gary F. Blessington One thing that may attack an older person is a feeling of "loneliness," when the family is "gone" (dead): the mother, father, brothers, sisters, friends, dead and gone. Once upon a time, they gave us emotional support and caring, for example. We acted and took...

Gary F. Blessington I believe that the entire universe is CONSCIOUS. - It "knows" what it is doing. But it is doing it without “intention” or “morality.” It is unfolding its infinite potentiality (without judging its goodness or badness before it unfolds). It is like Universal...

My special person

Laura Nicoleta @wildfirerock (46) • Ploiesti, Romania 25 Jun 13

I will always have you in my mind, I will always love you. But you don't care. You are just a child, a child I love, but too immature to understand me. And I started to think that I have a problem. That's not true. Well, people...

Gary F. Blessington It is best (maybe) to not "wait" for a "response" of "Love." Maybe it is best to know and feel the "kindness" in your own heart (love) for other people (and even the world). - Then, you do not "depend" on the response" of others. - That feeling is secure...

Gary F. Blessington People are very different (Surprise!) - Tricks and gimmicks don’t really “work.” They work only for a very short time (if at all). It has to do with “attention” and “value.” A shout or a scream in the street will get our attention, but just for a moment. -...

Gary F. Blessington It is an interesting question. - I believe it might be useful to focus on your areas of interest (in writing). - Vocabularies are many times different for different "areas" (genre) (of interest). - What might be useful in writing "common stories" (or articles)...

Have u ever believed in true love?

Gary F. Blessington Sure! - (When i was in my early twenties.) - Then it moderates and is educated over the years. It becomes a different kind of thing. Usually not expected to be enjoyed in elbow to elbow lifestyles. It can be treasured as just one slice of the pie. Just enjoy...
