I sat in the same shelter if it's in Shenandoah National Park or near the south boundary - great country and Trail Days in Damascus, Virginia was a hoot. I remember most hearing heavy footsteps outside the tent at midnight. Good poem,nice recollections

Composed in a shelter along the Appalachian Trail while making a 5 day hike. I was tired and had the shelter to myself, so sat there and over a course of two hours watched the day turn to night and thought on many things. I am a very lucky man. Liam

Like the meter and form and that S1 and S6 begin and conclude with the message ..... Cant help feeling this is a sandwich though without the filling. Like: leather gloves, handicap blue, lost a leg - more of the character you serve up good images but too sporadically.

L9-10 I think could be one line 'I'm full on empty' The opening 4-7 lines are strongest, not convinced ont he title but like the idea of making a statement to the boys but it needs something more on that as it could be ? reason for why she/he is starving themselves.

Anorexia being the opposite of an addiction to food, an addiction to being thin, which has been a part of my world with this self hate, not being desired blah blah stupid
Re: a comment on Anorexia is good for the soul by hobojo	hobojo 24.143.147.163	13-Nov-08/6:21 PM
I was comparing anorexia to an addiction to food and that starvation of this sort would be good for my soul - sorry to use the word offensively if I did so...

Excellent
Re: Anorexia is good for the soul by hobojo	Dovina 75.82.253.189	12-Nov-08/1:59 PM
Well not quite. Relate it to a mood or a rash, not to anorexia - that's a disease

Well put. We get pulled back to mama's knee and mama's beliefs, like a magnet too strong for reason.

If your first paragraph is correct then nothing existed before the universe. If you say no, the universe emerged; then you include whatever it emerged from in a new definition of the universe. You go beyond Stephen Hawking when he says we can never know what existed before the Bang. You say “The properties of the Universe are what determine the Laws and Initial Conditions.” John Fowles asks, “What is easier to believe? That there was always something or that there was once nothing?” Not that the easier thing to believe is more likely true, but the more reasonable thing is. A Model is like a worldview; a framework for testing predictions, an adjustable framework. Blaise Pascal, mathematician in the seventeenth century was testing the wager: Is it reasonable to believe in God. Either God exists or he does not, and we cannot use reason to determine which alternative is true. However, our lives may be affected by the alternative we choose. Since choosing to believe that God exists may lead to greater overall happiness, and nothing is lost if we are wrong, Pascal decided it is better to accept the theistic alternative. Since then, science has revealed much. I think that between then and now, it has pulled more in the direction of god than no-god.
