I was adored once too.

Hello George
********************
Who would adore this old geezer? What's to love?
So what if he paints beautiful pictures and write interesting stories, no one in town wants to know him and his one friend turned out to be dishonest. What's to love?
So what if he wrote and sent out over seventeen hundred issues of his journal to entertain, explain and encourage, no one wants to visit him. What's to love?
So what if he knows a lot about theatre and music, he lives in a neighborhood with no ATM, no deli, no laundromat, no post office and no barber. What's to love?
What if he reads and can discuss philosophy and religion, he has bad eye sight, an injured hip, a nasty cough and no teeth. What's to love?
So what if he hitchhiked across the country once, years ago, with stories to tell, now he can't walk to the corner without crutches. What's to love?
So what if he has plans to return to New Your and go back to work, he can't even keep his apartment clean. What's to love?
So what if he likes children and animals, he looks like a bum. What's to love?
So what if he has a heart full of affection, he's just a big, old, smelly thing. What's there to love?

Many of these points have to do with physical appearance. A person's real beauty and the loveable parts of them are found on the inside. All the rest is just window dressing.
You're indeed loved by all who read your thoughtful sites that have given us all reason to stop and think. Love comes from the heart not the outside that people see.
alright, I'll take the plunge,
you know most of the lines to most of the plays by shakespeare that
count, and all the lines to all the shakespeare plays you've done.
You can still pin point the soft spot in any argument, and add to any
argument a nut that's hard to crack. Your mind is expanding to its
years as the universe to its center. You can go mano a mano to any
actor in your weight class, and that's heavyweight. A couple dozen
text books, on art, philosopy, poli-sci, lie somewhere amidst the few
million written and spoken words you sling about...
Let me see......................

I agree with pacifica. Most of what you stated had to do with physical appearance and your state in life. It doesn't have to do with your gifts to the world and WHO you are. You have given me much much joy and many gifts. Dana, if I lived near you, I would visit often! We ARE friends now, but we would be closer friends. It is only because of distance and circumstance that we are only cyber friends. You do have people who love you. And you have given much to the world. That will never go away. Ever.
Love should be unconditional for those who love you. I love you for who you are. I really do.
