I am Ender because I think.
I am Valentine because I care.
I am Peter because I act.
I am Speaker of the Dead because death is a valuable lesson.
I am Jane because I whisper in God's ear.
I am Demosthenes because I like to write notes to people.
I am Bean because I am small, but growing.
I am Petra because I'm a girl.
I am Si Wang-mu because support is important.
I am Han Qing-jao because I will never give up.
And I refuse to be Locke because power corrupts.

I am Justice because I lost my Mercy.

Silence is silver.
Thought it gold.
Actions are diamonds.

I seek God.

But be careful what you wish for.

I wish I could talk to OSC some how...

But I guess writers are alot like magicians...

*poof*

Have you tried sending him an e-mail?

OSC that is.

Prayer might work for you with the other.

email? well I couldn't find one on this site. Someone help me out, I don't know his email! [Razz]

Oh I gave up praying a long time ago.

I just think to God, no need to waste time saying your thoughts out loud if no one is listening.

Someone is always listening, though may not know it. I'm not talking about God either.

I didn't know God was signed on to the system. I better cover my butt though, I hear Bernard may be watching.

nice poem.

quote:

Is that product placement? Wouldn't "platinum" be more consistent than "diamonds"?

Silence is silver.
Thought is gold.
Action is platinum?

I like diamonds better

Rock, mineral, I don't really care if it makes sence, it's the first thing I wrote as a poet, so to speak, so, it can't be changed. [Smile]

Silence is silver.
Thought is gold.
Actions are diamonds.

Besides... you can't really be silent or thoughtful if you're in action. So in reality you can only be thinking if you are silent, and once you think enough to do something about it, you act. Then when done with the act, you silence yourself and think again.

It's a cycle.

Mineral... Rock... Mineral... Rock... and Roll!

chicken wings!

so many ways a man can take pride, least of which is begging for a seat at a table whose surface he can't allow himself to see.

How come all the others get really thoughtfull descriptions but then Petra gets

"I am Petra because I am a girl."

BTW I love the line about Locke --Perfect
