This is an excerpt from E.A. Poe's poem "Alone".
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone
The verse has been rolling through my mind of late;
thought I'd share it.
Likely we've all felt this way to some degree

Nice verse.... Sure says a lot, and yes many of us have felt this way. (Thanks for the compliment on HermitJims Blog :)

Hi Lydia! Thanks so much for jumping over to my humble little site!
I think the verse says a lot to us "preppers" and homestead wanna-bees.
And certasinly to many of us whose view of "spirituality" varies from the masses...
Nice to 'see' you, lady; hope you come again!

Hi Cygnus,
And indeed a humble site this is! I spent a bit of time earlier today going through it, very nice.
I have been reading about prepping on HermitJim's site lately, and although I am not much of a planner, if any at all, I might be a prepper too! I have enough food here to qualify for sure. ;)
But certainly I view spirituality quite different than most, so surely it is why the verse makes sense to me :)
Anyway, nice to *meet* you, great job on your site.

Thanks Lidia!
the Hermit and me, we've had a few good palavers...
I'd say if the groc. clerks are questioning, you certainly qualify as one readying, no matter the other labels.
Thanks for using your time to browse My Song... I tried to access your blogs, but only one of the four are 'open' to me...
I'm Always 'here', feel free to stop by anytime! And if I don't answer, knock on my uncle's door; I'd bet he has some coffee going, and would be more than willing to share it with ya!
Thanks again...
C.
'I view spirituality quite different than most...'
We gots to talk more, my new-found e-quaintance...

Hey C, Thanks! Will do. I didn't realize Jim was your uncle..? He is such a wonderful person! (you are fortunate to have him as part of your family if he is..)
I currently have just one blog, the one you can access www.serenitytalk.blogspot. The other was a recipe blog which was boring to keep up with ;) Then two others I keep for test pages, just because I seem to change the page often.
Nice to be your e-acquaintance also ! :)
