Hello beautiful Angels, I had an idea about having a list for Shawn Mullins a few months back so i'm gonna resurface it. If i created a Shawn Mullins list, would be people come? (voice says) "Build it and they will come" Myself and a lot of others are fans of Mr. Mullins and would like a list. I've researched very well and there is no official posting list, there is an info list which SMG records posts about 3 times a year! What ya think???żżż Scott S.

I have no preconceptions. What ever you see I swallow immediately Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel, only truthful--- The eye of a little god, four-cornered. Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall. It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long I think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers. Faces and darkness separate us over and over. Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me, Searching my reaches for what she really is. Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon. I see her back, and reflect it faithfully. She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands. I am important to her. She comes and goes. Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness. In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 14:55:02 -0600 From: SummerTime Subject: ET: mailing lists heh...

(this might be out of place but do you get paid anything or is it all volunteer? cause i'd think you'd deserve pay for it.) Kerry Ekenstam - thank you for your post, too...and i so appreciate what you said. if my opinion here means anything - i can only speak for myself, but if you choose to stay on this list, i'd be happy. i'd like it if you were to remain on here and share your thoughts more. i think it's cool that you were on as a so-called "lurker" and i think it would be such a profit to all of us if you came out in the open more often. everybody benefits from hearing from somebody else. jason - i'll write you back privately but thank you SO much!! :) :) :) today is a beautiful day here...and i'm gradually getting all my snail mail letters written back. let's hear a ra ra ra from the ra ra girls! tee hee. alright, that's it for now. love you all- sam the ? angel ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 16:48:05 -0800 From: Miles and Prystowsky Subject: ET: kevin angels- KEVIN-before i reply (try to) to your letters, your address is still bouncing my mail. thanks everyone else for...um...not flaming me for sending this to the list. :) - -SaM ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 22:05:44 -0800 From: scott e sykes Subject: ET: Shawn Mullins list possiility! *please read** Hello Angels, PLEASE, if you are a fan of Shawn Mullins and would be willing to put in some time on a Shawn Mullins list!
