That was a very touching passage. I agree with you again, why do preachers take advantage of mourning situations to push their agenda onto the weakened, sad bereaved? It's almost like a hostage situation. The thought of an after-life is no comfort indeed when the problem is that you want someone's eyes to come back to life, their blood to keep flowing, their limbs moving. Nothing annoys me more than preachers. Anyone who is completely confident of such an ethereal matter makes no sense to me. That goes for teachers too. I prefer the ones who admit that social sciences have no right answers, and that all theories are false. I love your grandpa's rap! especially the part about the rattle snake tipping his hat. Respect! At least your grandpa has inspired you to write beautiful things in his memory. Now the image of him will stay with me too, although I never knew him. Thanks for sharing! As for realness, I'm the wrong person to ask. My dreams are so vivid that I still mostly prefer sleeping to being awake, and my commitment to poetry and writing is growing. I've applied to get into the screenwriting MFA program at UCLA and USC starting this fall, but I probably won't get in, it's so competitive. Take care, Hilde :-) Hi, lynx!
