            <description>&lt;P&gt;As my clock ticks on&lt;BR&gt;As the time passes me by&lt;BR&gt;As my life spins wildly out of control&lt;BR&gt;As everything begins to unwind and break&lt;BR&gt;As time goes by distance grows&lt;BR&gt;As time goes by only I know&lt;BR&gt;As my life starts to flash infront of me&lt;BR&gt;As I have lived my last 25 years&lt;BR&gt;As it feels now only like a moment&lt;BR&gt;As now the moment I just felt writing this is gone&lt;BR&gt;As I did exist in that moment&lt;BR&gt;As I still exist in that moment as well as the next&lt;BR&gt;As well as the future and the past&lt;BR&gt;As I live my life I wonder what the purpose may be&lt;BR&gt;As I walk down the street I wonder who am I supposed to meet&lt;BR&gt;As I talk I wonder to myself who is supposed to hear&lt;BR&gt;As I listen I wonder to myself is this where I am supposed to obtain my knowledge&lt;BR&gt;As I sit alone I wonder to myself why &lt;BR&gt;As I think back to previous pain the tears begin to flow like rain&lt;BR&gt;As I contemplate my future I smile through the darkness and pain&lt;BR&gt;As I look to a place where I have yet ventured&lt;BR&gt;As I look to a place unknown...............&lt;/P&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;And on the otherside.......................... My existance my past my present my now and my future&lt;/P&gt;</description>

            <title>The Old Blanket</title>
            <link>http://www.mikestewart25.com/life-altering-things/the-old-blanket</link>
            <description>&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'&quot;&gt;The old woman starts to knit. First, she takes her materials and prepares them. As she begins to feed the thread through just as the old blanket was used to being put together and pieced in the right way, it happened. This time it wasn’t looked at as the blanket anymore because this blanket needed to be re-stitched due to wear and tear. Yes, this blanket had some holes and rips in it. But, instead when the thread began to be feed through this time it wasn’t feed through with as much care as it was when it was first woven. In fact the old woman did not even pay attention to what her complacency in her weaving was doing to this old blanket. She never even looked at it. She had become so used to it just being the same old blanket that she just started weaving away as if she knew what she was doing. As if it was no big deal at all. The only thing is that the old blanket knew the care and compassion that was first put into it. The old blanket felt the difference with each knit that went through it. The weaves now felt as if they were piercing through the blanket with a sharp tear. Not weaving into it and a gentle rhythmic flow. No, these knits were actually reweaving the blanket but the color was not the same and neither was the attention nor detail or soft hands and gentle touch. Which were put into it this time. This time the old lady seemed in a hurry to throw it together as if it weren’t as important as it once was. The blanket being a blanket never said anything and looked as if everything was ok. Well to everyone it was on the outside. But inside, well that’s a whole different story. Because my friends on the inside there was a whole different story. &lt;SPAN style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;The threads of the blanket were beautiful on the top layer they shined and shimmered with new colors. But, deep down the blanket knew what and why it was done that way. The funny part however is we all know that blankets can’t talk and neither did this one this blanket just lay and wait to be used and handled in the same way that it once was quietly, patiently, and painfully. The old blanket should be remembered for what it is….. For what it once was recognized for. Remember the blanket cant always talk but sometimes all it takes is a second look to see the blanket for what it is that same old blanket that it was in the beginning. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

            <title>Washing The Heart</title>
            <link>http://www.mikestewart25.com/life-altering-things/washing-the-heart</link>
            <description>&lt;SPAN lang=EN&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;Washing away the color fades off. The silence lingers, the questions unanswered. It starts to wash away my heart. The rag that is used is brittle and scratches away pieces of me. As it’s rung out the blood of my heart spills on the floor. I ask myself each time can my heart take anymore, each time that it happens it crashes to the floor. The blood and the pieces laying there while I still stand. I start to clean it up all this blood now in my hands. I have begun to wonder to myself how many more times can I put it together before I have no more. The silence and lack of answers tear each time a little more. If you only knew what the silence does to it when I say I will let you go it cracks a bit. It seems to be less and less noticed with each passing day. But, this thing is starting to get so easy for you to look away and your mind lead astray. Not seeing the pain it builds with each passing day. I wish you would stop speaking everything after its worked through your mind what comes from the heart is what I wish for. It seems like I don’t get it as much anymore it washes away and scrubs at my heart. I wish you could see what I am asking for but with each passing day it washes away yes it washes away on my heart.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;</description>
