Life

Life , i shy away from
for love is my companion
with me, when i am alone
with me, when i sleep
with me, when i live
with me, until death
tear my life apart from me.

What after death

neither hell, nor heaven
for there is none
God was never there
nor there shall be one.

-- ritz

dreams

i am out to dream
of a world i would live in
with no tears, a world
where all are one
with thoughts of peace
and of friends

-- ritz

Butterflies

think of butterflies in sky
roaming high
flying away into the night
to emerge in day, as we lie
dreaming of a flight
of freedom above, and love besides

Evolution account editor accepts white space in host name as valid

Evolution will accept whitespace in hostname, and when one checks for email - failure ! and a rather tricky one to spot.

This has been fixed now, thanks for input from Alan Matsuoka.
