ckclark (Calvin Clark):
Long ago has been told the Eastern story about the traveller who
in the steppe is overtaken by an infuriated beast. Trying to save
himself from the animal, the traveller jumps into a waterless well, but
at its bottom he sees a dragon who opens his jaws in order to swallow
him. And the unfortunate man does not dare climb out, lest he perish
from the infuriated beast, and does not dare jump down to the bottom of
the well, lest he be devoured by the dragon, and so clutches the twig of
a wild bush growing in a cleft of the well and holds on to it. His
hands grow weak and he feels that soon he shall have to surrender to the
peril which awaits him at either side; but he still holds on and sees
two mice, one white, the other black, in even measure making a circle
around the main trunk of the bush to which he is clinging, and nibbling
at it on all sides. Now, at any moment, the bush will break and tear
off, and he will fall into the dragon's jaws. The traveller sees that
and knows that he will inevitably perish; but while he is still
clinging, he sees some drops of honey hanging on the leaves of the bush,
and so reaches out for them with his tongue and licks the leaves.

riki (Michael Y Liu):
The Promise
When you need a friend, don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end, I'll always be there.
But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around, and I'll be there.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.
When your day is through, and so is your temper,
You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended.
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.
I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, I need to tell you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will. I will. I will.

therese (Therese):
I sit, by myself, among friends
reaching out to touch those beyond my feeble reach
spending time caring for people...
whom I may never meet
Sharing a myriad of emotions...
As ephemeral as those I share them with
Hearing sighs and laughter with no voices...
feeling warmth in hugs that have no arms...
seeing smiles on imaginary faces
distance shrinks, and for a brief moment...
we are one as friends...
more than friends...
family..
