Yeah, Cass, it's a mystery...
I left a comment for you in no mercy, but essentially I still don't know why they disappear. Working on it though. :)

Hey Shavonne!
Glad you liked it. :) Nice to see you. Yeah, I know what you mean....I didn't notice how long other people were away until I started being here more. I hope things are okay with you, too, and that processing out goes smoothly.

This is a really great post.
I've been missing for so long, I haven't had the opportunity to notice when someone else is gone. Hope everything is good on your end.

Aww, Cass....Billy couldn't see them either, but they are still up.
I hope you can see them from home. I forget it's Monday there now!

It's true, Bella, once you open your eyes, you can meet amazing people
anywhere. I think I just really relate to those I've met in the city. There's nothing needed to "fit in" -- just be yourself. Who knows? Once day I could be talking about my house in the hills and all the people I've met there...and how it all looks so polished and serene on the outside, but the stories underneath are human and brilliant and deep. Right now, this is where I feel most alive...very close to the water, and part of the heartbeat of the city, too.

Even those people stuck in the "burbs" can meet interesting folk.
If it were just me I'd choose urban life too (with interludes at my beach). I love to be in the guts of the city. The things you see and hear...

Cass, Def Poetry is on HBO every week during its season.
I think the first season is on DVD if not. You can google it and find it. I understand your fear of reciting your own poetry, I share that with you. I've always taken it to mean that it's something I have to do then. You know my theory on fear....so, at some point, I will do it. :)

Ah, jimmy, you know my old hood.
I lived off of 13th street (Colfax is 15th) -- caught the bus at Colfax and Washington. Good ole E. Colfax indeed. It is a heavy place, truly. Can be scary, but I did fine. Can't find a good bottle of wine out here yet. I miss my favorite liquor store on that corner called Argonaut. I don't drink much, but I still miss that place. I wonder if I was there when you were there? Billiard balls? I don't remember that, but, leave it to the wild, wild west!
Up until the last year or so, I used the word god, too, but it gets confusing for me and for my family. I realized that I don't necessarily believe in a higher power, this is the Buddhist way but it crept up on me, and so I changed my terminology. I hear what you're saying on that, totally. I really love this....creative intelligence of the universe. That says it so perfectly. I'd like to believe that too...that humanity is the universe becoming aware of itself. That's a brilliant, and very hopeful, theory. Thanks for sharing it with me, I'll be thinking about that a lot.

Temple, where do I find Def Poetry? It sounds like one of the many things I'm searching for. I helped to organise a weekly poetry slam once. I loved those nights. Every week I wanted to get up and recite my own poetry, but fear of ridicule, or worse total silence, held me back. I wonder if I can find Def Poetry here...

E. Colfax huh...
I've been drinking down in that neighborhood, long ago. Pretty heavy place. I lived up in Ft. Collins for a year and in the Glenwood Springs/Aspen corridor for 3 or 4, we'd go down to Denver for concerts or just to party. It's quite a town, my favorite reminice about Denver was when the KKK held a rally on the Capitol steps and were driven off by a mob throwing billiard balls! Ouch! Then there was the night before Lallapalooza 1 when we built an enormous pyramid of 7oz Miller High Life bottles on a table in a bar downtown, using them to chase Jaggermeister with...God is simply a convenient anglo-saxon single sylable word I use to describe the inerconnectedness of all things, the creative intelligence of the universe. I read a theory stating that perhaps humanity was the universe becoming aware of itself...maybe the most spiritually evolved of us are that, or at least have the potential to become it...I'd like to think so anyhow...
