• Valentines Song, poem and post.

  Well since plans changed and I shall be off tomorrow rather than today I now have time to post a proper V-Day post, which is brilliant because i remembered that one of my all time favorite songs is actually perfect for Valentines so I hope you’ll enjoy The Queen of Love from the Album U by the Incredible String Band. They are my favorite Band ever and this song always really captivates me, it’s a little long and wordy but listen to the lyrics and feel the poetry of it and see what you think.

  Also Since Jen asked to be my Valentines which was really sweet of her I thought i’d try to write her a poem to say thanks.

  Firefly so warm so bright, give me comfort with your light.
  Sharing courage in the dark of night, your gentle glow a joyous sight.

  Fate and chance tried to dim that light, that spark of hope and life,
  But even as darkness drew in and fear grew, in my heart I still knew,
  That despite it all that glowing spark would never die within your heart.

  I hope you have a fantastic Valentines Jen.

  Thanks completely to Xanga this is pretty much my first time celebrating Valentines and it made me realise finaly the purpose for all these holidays and celebrations, rather than just the commercial value of them that was all i previously saw.

  It’s actually a way of focusing large numbers of peoples attention on one concept or idea, further use of the battery effect many minds can have. To most people this won’t really be news but since i’ve never really been connected to a society or social group it’s come a quite a suprise and clarified some more of the posetive sides to social interaction….of course i’m still going to be a hermit hehe but it’s nice to have experianced that sense of community goal and group idea.

  Makes me excited to think of other holidays/celebrations that i’ll be able to get this alternative perspective on via Xanga.

  I wish everone the very best this Valentines
