If one is reported as having set up camp overseas, it's as if one has made oneself unavailable.

Just Be You
When one looks at history
We can either
Learn from the past
To adapt to the present
So you can
Face tomorrow's mysteries
The age old question
We all ask
Can we better ourselves?
To better oneself
You must be brave
To better oneself
You must know love
To better oneself
You must be strong
To better oneself
You must believe
To better oneself
You must learn to share
To better oneself
Just be you
After learning all
Of life's mysteries
One must discover
To be true to
Thine own self
Just be you

0017 And Where The Joy
This, then, the question
for those whom it may concern –
to find a celebration in oneself
that, as outer is, so inner;
that all truth rests within oneself –
for where else can it be found?
to love oneself – for oneself must be loveable,
or none other could be loved for true;
to know all happiness to be within;
to celebrate all this; the world a constant joy;
to find this celebration in oneself.

Self indulgences.
The one who talks much of oneself
Is doing so to conceal as much oneself.
The one who curses much oneself
Is doing so to get pity for oneself.

Unavailable
Those folks who play games of 'catch-me-if-you-can'
Are noticeably too self indulgent.
Hide in the wrong places.
And definitely order items off the menu,
I wouldn't dare think to eat.
Plus,
They try to make what they do not so obvious.
But I'm not fooled by that at all.
I choose to mind my own business.
And 'if' I am approached to have conversation...
I will not pretend I am unavailable.
'I will not pretend I am unavailable! '
Geesshh...
Are they hard of hearing too?

I Have To Leave
I came to camp here
On the riverside
Overlooking the mountain
Where I would say ho
And it would reverberate.
I had no companion
Till every morning
The birds woke me up
And made friends
I had no lover
Till the moon's silver
Crowned the ripples
And made love
I never knew
When quietly they came
And dug into me!
Now I don't want to
Leave the camp
My dreams don't spin
Tales of other world anymore!
I came to camp here
I have to wind up and leave.

Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God.

I'm wondering if they haven't reported all the people with MS, because if all of the cases were reported, the government would have to step in and give more financial aid to us.
The model today is that as much as 70 percent of the financing of the picture would come from overseas. Now we're beginning to run out of suckers, because there are not that many people overseas who are willing to put up more than half the money for a movie.

It is, finally, a word is untimely in three different senses, and bearing it as one's treasure will not win one anyone's favours; one rather risks finding oneself outside everyone's camp... Beauty is the word that shall be our first.

The study also included the disturbing revelation that most of the troops who reported having mental health problems also reported that they did not seek or did not receive care for their problems.

Immigration
overseas, they all left overseas,
how happy to see money coming
to build the most beautiful house
how said to see no home at all.
how desperate, how loveless
how empty, how detached
they must know that these things are simply irreconcilable!
how the gold and diamond glisten on the ears
how sad the eyes have become.

A lot of times when we work overseas we tend to put the experience of someone who lives overseas, a Chinese person or a Korean person or a Bosnian person, within the prism of an American life.

Overseas
Overseas, verses, vases, serve, save, saves, serves, aors, soar;
But with fuel of human excrement!
And like the abominable meat beside you,
For, you exposed your love on every hill! !
Skill, ill, kill, hill, fill, drill, thrill, mill, bill, dill, grill;
With words from your mouth to defend yourself always!
But, the bills are now in for you to pay.
Overseas, over, sea, seas, as, so, sore, sores, vase, vases, see;
And now, your nakedness is known to all around!
For, you exposed your love on every hill.
Overseas, ore, ores, veer, veers, seer, seers, sear, sears, sees, oar;
But, try to heed to the works of wisdom than playing with your life!
For, there are rulers in every country.
Overseas, ear, ears, era, are, or, rover, rove, roves, verse, soars;
In time past and to the present time! !
And, you are noted in this town for selling your body to all.

If you live in Israel and you see the way life is there and then you go abroad and see the way Israel is reported on, the way that Israel gets reported on night after night is simply pictures of bombings or military actions.
