I understand the leading cause of death for soldiers is no longer combat but suicide.

We are but human after all, and everyone we meet has the same fate of death ahead of them. No one is special in this regard. <br /><br />Glad we bumped into each other here in cyberspace Handsome. I wish so many good things for you, and I hope to be around blogger more this year.

chris, ...Children<br />In lives too big<br />Wounded in Wars<br /><br />chris, how utterly alone a person can be even if love is affirmed. you've nailed this so effectively. i keep thinking of that ubuntu quote: i am because we are. it takes so little to understand another's pain, because we all understand pain, and yet we somehow miss the point. this poem of yours doesn't allow that to happen. this is another poem i think you should submit for publication. i think it's a gem<br /><br />i am glad we met in 2012 and i surely look forward to our writing gallivants in 2013. i hope things have begun to settle for you. i know it's been scary. i can't say my own year has been a bright light, and i can't bring myself to muster hope that may or may not pan out. but i do plan to show up, be willing to feel, act kindly, and of course, my favorite, seek passion <br /><br />happy new year chris xoxo<br />kj<br /><br />kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935594309491848290.post-88133260737202370492013-01-02T05:51:09.936-08:002013-01-02T05:51:09.936-08:00happy new year man....i am glad to have found you ...happy new year man....i am glad to have found you in the travels...wish you the best in the new year as well....<br /><br />the verse is so evocative...those that give all are sadly all too often ignored when they come home and their pain not dealt with....Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935594309491848290.post-26075548069021608362013-01-02T05:04:11.246-08:002013-01-02T05:04:11.246-08:00Intense -- with all the happy new years
