we are separated by other forms of life - separated from?
poetry as a gymnasium of the mind - I really like that
a very intriguing prologue to your book - it definitely makes reading more sound worth the reader's time :-) Brooke

Comment from Jay Squires
Mr. His Grayness, you have written an intelligent and dynamic piece that I can't help but feel would be even more dynamic and less defused in its intelligence if you would not have plopped it all out in one gigantic paragraph.
You have much to say and from a God-base that is needed in the world. Please don't make your message more difficult to read than it need be.
Thank you, friend.

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Vance - a strong and expressive essay here. You dive deep into the
"gray" exploring its many corners which you then expose for us to read.
Fascinating work - I've always said I learned more about myself in those moments when darkness surrounded me.
Great writing my friend, thanks for sharing it.

Dear JUSTJO: THANKS SO MUCH...I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU! I HAVE GRAY HAIR AND MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER BEGAN REFERRING TO ME AS "OH GRAY ONE" WHICH THEN GOT UPGRADED TO "HIS GRAYNESS" SHE HAS A REAL SENSE OF HUMOR SO IT CAUGHT ON AT THE OFFICE THEN FRIENDS SO NOW MY WHOLE WARDROBE IS GREY...INCLUDING MY CARS! I AM A BIT OF A "CENTRIST" on many things (not all for certain) so I expanded on the realities of GRAYNESS as a means of "BALANCE" IN THINKING. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR KIND REVIEW.

Ha ha...loved your reply as much as your article! "Oh Gray One"...I love your wife!

2nd review Smiles Vance
I read your advice taking our Journey during our Life,
which I liked when you said
The brain is the "gray" mass that houses the the vehicles of thought that carry us on these journeys, seeking the pure light that I believe is the homestead of God and that is that which keeps the "grayness--
Gert
Great article Vance-
Very true of want you are saying Vance. When God created the Universe it was a Creative Endeavor.
I myself also believe when God created man/woman he intended to embed in our brain creativity and love for our sleeves and others.
(as you say into the gray matter)

Comment from royowen
Thank you for this beautiful definition about the purpose of human life! It is an interesting thought, the only way I've thought is this intense desire to Lias with the crown of His creation, us! I,guess that's why Jesus died to commune with us! Great write,Vance, blessings, Roy.

Comment from Preston McWhorter
Dear Vance,
Your prose is excellent; straight for ward and clear. Your logic is impeccable and clean. I am with you that creativity is built into the genes in that because of our genetic heritage and up bringing we are able to think flexibly with out clinging to ideas or concepts. Animals are trapped into patterns of behavior because of instinct but man is also a creature of instinct but to lesser degree so can be more creative. I do not think this should be a matter of species pride since it is only a matter of degree and under the right circumstances instinct is a more successful evolutionary technique than intelligence.
I do not know God's purpose but right now think that the universal consciousness created the universe because it is "one" and may have felt something akin to boredom loneliness and curiosity, All of creatures have free will to a certain extent and I think the cosmos is an experiment to see what the result might be. It is dangerous to impute human motives to God but may be we have free will because it would be boring to live in a universe where everyone is the same.
I want to thank you for this delightful "think" piece. I try not to express my ideas and judge the author's ideas in my reviews but your ideas are excellent and called out some thoughts that I have been having so for give me for this response. Thanks for sharing.

DEAR PRESTON: I DEEPLY AND SINCERELY APPRECIATE THIS THOUGHTFUL AND MEANINGFUL REVIEW. IT IS ALWAYS A WORTHWHILE AND GENERALLY A "LEARNING" EXPERIENCE TO HEAR FROM YOU AS SUCH IS THE CASE HERE! I KNOW YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE DEEPEST RESPECT FOR THE POWER OF 'MAYBE' IN EVERYTHING YOU CONTEMPLATE, WHICH IS DELIGHTFUL! VANCE
Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens
Hi there Vance.
You have a good start on your book which I feel will be a good one. Your explanation of "What grayness really means' provokes deeper thinking on the readers part. I like: Poetry is a profoundly, powerful gymnasium of the mind, now that's a wonderful statement.
I would suggest some strong editing, spelling and punctuation. I found, however, the greatest distraction to me, was the length of the sentences. Also, the information could be in two or more paragraph. That would loosen it up a bit, and make for an easier read. I rated the five for the message itself.
Well done, Carolyn
