In the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring, becomes the Rose ...

Welcome. I see you came in despite the warning ! The Rose Shack is the place for expression. It could be poetry, short stories, opinions, jokes etc. If I have something to say, this is where I'll say it. Hence the warning. Look, I'm not in this world to follow popular opinion or to be politically correct. I'm here (we're all here) to experience all the colors, all the scents, images, feelings and nuances that are available to us here. 

My belief is not that God put us here with the idea that we could only have some limited experiences. I believe we choose to be on this earth and we can experience and express any damn thing we like. If I have to be here, I'm going to do it my way!

With that said, onto "the stuff".
