Your thoughts resonate with me. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations on all your successes too. I think Donna George-Storey is onto something when she says we should hold a bloggers convention and all meet.

There is depth everywhere, and though the means of expression and the feeling behind it may differ, this does not make one greater than another. Depth of sexuality does not come from a place, nor from a certain range of experience. It comes from the soul.<BR/><BR/>Neve, your quote: <I>Every person has story to tell. They may not have been ravaged by war, poverty, or a natural disaster, but try scratching at the pretty and new sometime, you might find a real treasure hiding just below the surface.</I> is very well stated.Craig Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101869420537661374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224095631516116973.post-21200535757755512972008-10-29T19:35:00.000-04:002008-10-29T19:35:00.000-04:00Thank you.

Your writing evokes a quintessential relationship for me-my one relationship that I needed, feared and ravaged. It was the kind of fucking that a body yearned-addictive, raw and unbelievable. Years later it is all so clear in my head.

I'm open-minded.<BR/><BR/>I'm not of the opinion that art must be developed from something that's fallen, or injured to be considered great. That's too short-sighted for me. <BR/><BR/>Every person has story to tell.

I know there are aspects of Southern California that are rich and I am constantly learning more about the surf culture. I hate television. I adore San Francisco.<BR/><BR/>When I think of the roots that produce passion-the kind that makes your fingers hurt and heart sweat-I think of it being born out of places that have transformed through hardship: New Orleans, Savannah, New York, Detroit, etc. Fair?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224095631516116973.post-73008912960840834102008-10-29T16:25:00.000-04:002008-10-29T16:25:00.000-04:00Wow.
