half-gifts

It's an old game, my love
When you can't have me, you want me
Because you know that you're not risking anything

Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are

That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking

Well I'm still a junkie for it
It takes me out of my aloneness
But this relationship cannot sustain itself

Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are

That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking

I just have to know how to be in the process
Of creating things in a better way
And it hurts but it's a lie that I can't handle it
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill
I still have a life, and it's a rich one even with mourning
Even with grief and sadness

I still care about this planet
I am still connected to nature and to my dreams for myself

I have my friends, my family
I have myself
I still have me

Quick Time is not quick at all.

Nice things always need a little more patience...

How do you find this song, GM5?

This song is nice and the voice of the singer is sweet. Why is it called "Half-gifts"?

Btw, your quick time seems not working.

I think "half-gifts" refers to the Christian belief that God gives men his gifts but never to the fullest. Maybe you can shed better lights on this.

How come? It's running well at my PC. Have you deactivated the Active-X?

I have never heard of this "half-gifts" belief but only the "half-filled vs half-empty glass mindset".

Yes, I have relaxed the security control over the Active-X but it can't help.

Really? Maybe b'coz I'm not Christian I wasn't putting it into the right context.

Well, have you installed QuickTime then?

At last, I can view the video via QuickTime after downloading the file completely. But, the video can't be shown automatically via your blog due to the large file.

Maybe you should consider using mediaplayer instead.

Negative. This one is only available on QTime. Quality seems to be better also.

"My daughter's birthday is December 23, so a party is difficult. This year we had a half party in June and she loved it! We had half a cake, filled cups half full, etc. I asked the kids to get together and bring half gifts, one brought a Barbie doll and one brought an outfit for the doll. I got a shirt, Grandma got the matching shorts. She had a lot of fun matching up the gifts."
