But on the other hand, one cannot really feel alive without being vulnerable and open to all the exquisite joy and pain of love.chicklegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000215636803243874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-82040757294510547292007-12-05T23:42:00.000-08:002007-12-05T23:42:00.000-08:00Very beautifully written!

I keep them whenever I can (implied or stated) and the people who have made them to me have usually kept them too. I am fortunate. I do have a couple of big promises out there too... that would be life altering if they went south... so lets hope my luck holds out! lolHelenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481533361253699464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-28599004653600259932007-12-05T09:20:00.000-08:002007-12-05T09:20:00.000-08:00I too love the balancing act between trust and cyn...I too love the balancing act between trust and cynicism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-45706841189890659112007-12-05T08:56:00.000-08:002007-12-05T08:56:00.000-08:00I liked the idea of unuttered promises :)beautiful...I liked the idea of unuttered promises :)<BR/><BR/>beautifully writtenRamblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048279856792308653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-45989087858110096192007-12-04T22:11:00.000-08:002007-12-04T22:11:00.000-08:00I loved this very different post from you..I loved this very different post from you..gautami tripathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192356825699543613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-38838344529978202612007-12-04T19:41:00.000-08:002007-12-04T19:41:00.000-08:00Beautifully said.
