Default What I meant was, you pulled me out of a hole in the ground and I am thankful

Imad, I apologize entirely; and I will take this to heart; I did not clearly communicate to you my gratitude and affection; I speak too wildly and do not get across: what I meant to say, and this is the absolute truth; what I meant to convey is that I was drowning in the negative darkness of the inhumanity that I have seen around me; and then, as by magic, as by serendipity, some person I have never met brought to me a poem that changed my mind and soothed my half-drunk anger and it was someone they call Imark3000; a space-age name, someone who has been a vital part of this site for a long time; this someone seemed to know that this poem was exactly what I needed.
That has happened to me before on this site; where I go far in one direction and people on this site bring me back. Bluedaliah at one time changed my direction completely, unexpectedly, and with great truth on her side.
Imark, by bringing me a poem of hope just when I was swimming in doubt and despair; you posted just what I needed to know - this happens again and again, and I express (poorly) that some person suddenly appeared, and that was Imark3000; and your unexpected delivery of a poem changed my thinking again; as if you came from another dimension, out of the blue, and brought me something that i needed right then, right there. And you brought it to me, as if you had secret insight into what it was I really need to be following. I clicked on your post feeling miserable, and came away from your post feeling hopeful, and it was if you knew and planned it to help me; serendipity it is not planned, I know; but it is not everyday that I open a website and somebody who cannot possibly know what I am thinking answers my question.
All I can say now is I thank you, and I do regret that I offended you; it means I did not write well, because what I meant was, I was scratching at the bottom of the barrel at times, with whiskey for breakfast, depressed about the dark misconduct of Pharma and that people can so mistreat people, and suddenly you appeared, someone totally unknown to me, and you reminded me poetically to look again, and see the beauty that is there.
Forgive me for my clumsy failure to communicate to you that I was amazed that your post answered exactly what I was struggling with today.
Part of the cause is that I am speed-talking and I have to slow down a lot and shut up much more. Notice the long and frequent posts: I have to back off and say less because posting can be an addiction too, and I seem to be replying at crazed length to everything anybody says. So please accept my apologies; but your intervention-with-poetry got me carried away; when I said you must have come from another dimension, it is the same with the ancient Oracles of Delphi; I believe they are among us; because of moments such as this, when Imark 3000 brought me a text I needed badly but did not know that I needed it all, until you selected it and caused it to suddenly appear on my computer screen, just as I was sitting down to write a rage of despair.
Thank you Imark3000.

Default and I apologize for that too. I have to slow down

well now i apologize for making you feel foolish and feel sorry. ANd if I had written properly, there would be no misunderstanding. I have to slow down with the speed talking,and that's another thing I learned today, in addition to the poem. I am talking so fast the things that should be edited go zooming past.

Default and there you have it - respect

i am learning to understand bobspeak but it [forgive me bob] reminds me of one of my favorite tv cable stations IFC which I assume means Independent Film Channel. It's slogan and bob reminds me as "Always on but slightly off." lol That makes him a treasure to read but it may take a few times and I'm glad you worked it out.

forward!

Always on but slightly off... I love it! But very generous of you to say "slightly". That's still Phase One.
My rantings can be looked at for a second opinion when they are in writing; you can imagine the perplexity of people around me when I start speed talking out loud and it is not clear what I am talking about at all !
