I think I found it from Randi Rhodes board. |
|
Or it might have been Mike Malloy's.

what poster jumped out at you when you first got here? Was there a poster who impressed you, or ? For me, Plaid Addler impressed me greatly.

5. I started on GD, and I was lurker. |
|
It is hard to start posting at first.
I saw all the huge number of posts other people had and thought I would never get that many.
I didn't start to post until Heidi's nighthawk crew, and Mike Malloy's nightly show.

I spent the day outside.
I needed a little quiet time.
We have a full moon tonight.

8. The moon is simply gorgeous tonight |
|
It is, quite simply, my favourite time of the month - the full moon.
I feel such a connection with it. Love, love, love the moon. :-)

12. The harvest moon here |
|
looks the biggest, in the autumn. Winter is pretty close in size.
I can't see her anymore, but I, too, felt mesmerized by her charms tonight.
I love this poem:
Moonlight
As a pale phantom with a lamp Ascends some ruined haunted stair, So glides the moon along the damp Mysterious chambers of the air.
Now hidden in cloud, and now revealed, As if this phantom, full of pain, Were by the crumbling walls concealed, And at the windows seen again.
Until at last, serene and proud In all the splendour of her light, She walks the terraces of cloud, Supreme as Empress of the Night.
I look, but recognize no more Objects familiar to my view; The very pathway to my door Is an enchanted avenue.
All things are changed. One mass of shade, The elm-trees drop their curtains down; By palace, park, and colonnade I walk as in a foreign town.
The very ground beneath my feet Is clothed with a diviner air; White marble paves the silent street And glimmers in the empty square.
Illusion! Underneath there lies The common life of everyday; Only the spirit glorifies With its own tints the sober grey.
In vain we look, in vain uplift Our eyes to heaven, if we are blind; We see but what we have the gift Of seeing; what we bring we find.
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I spent so much time here even if I don't post.
I held back going on the internet for a long time.
I knew it would happen.
