Jarcie 0 #1 March 7, 2004 Who transforms the way you look at the world? Who makes you see the beautiful things in an ugly landscape, and makes you want to open up to the wonder of the world instead of shutting out its nastiness? You can be walking along the same gray sidewalk, covered with litter and urine, looking at the same gray buildings you've been seeing for months or years, and suddenly, they're beautiful. The people around you are beautiful. You want to soak in the ambiance instead of shutting your eyes, all because a fascinating person has let you look through his eyes for a moment. And after that, everything is full of possibility, whether the fascinating person is still there or has left. I've known maybe three people like this in my life. Have you ever known someone who's changed your perspective and made you appreciate this world? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osuskydiver 0 #2 March 7, 2004 Yes, I know exactly what you mean. The person in my life is Cassie, we have been together for a year and she makes me the happiest guy in the world. And she is perfectly fine with me and my mistress THE SKY. By the time you read this you have already read it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
