"I've just discovered Viggo last month, sitting down watching
"Lord of the Rings" Trilogy (which I always thought was a
kids movie), with my husband and daughter....and I was
hooked!! The movie(s), too, are my absolute all-time
favorite..thanks again, and anything else on him you can pass along."
--Diane Farquhar, DianeFarquhar@msn.com
We fans have read about someone smashing open Mr. Mortensen's car
window to get his poems and short stories. Wanda
emailed EBH to express her feelings about the subject.
Possibly, what she says will give a voice to our own similar
feelings. From
Wanda
Chapman, rotten1@together.net:
"You would think that someone knowing how much that poetry
meant to him, that they would return it in a heart beat - but, I
have found after doing years of rescue work, that humans are stupid, cruel and
inhumane. They are the only creature that purposely sets out
to hurt another. I am not talking about feeding upon, We
humans will sit and think out how to kill, how to maim in the worst
manner available and then even when we know it will hurt another, we
do it. First to have the audacity to break into someone's car
in the first place!!! Sometimes I am ashamed to admit that I
am human. My heart sank so low when I read about it - I
actually cried for those lost words found deep from someone's heart
and soul... It isn't because he was a star - he could of been a
homeless man from NY city - I would feel the same way!!!"
"I have lost a few poems over the years and every time I
think about them, it hurts my soul, my mind says 'Oh well, you can write another one'
- but
my soul aches beyond anything else. It feels like someone you
have loved
for your whole life has died - I cannot imagine losing 3 yrs worth
of poems
and stories, if I cry over just a few it must be torture for him....
My
soul aches for him."
" I thank God that I have back up copies of "We the
Battered" and "I wish I
could of Known" Oh, to loose them - I'd be in a ball on the
floor for
months crying...... I would never get over the loss of those
ones. I do
miss "Yukon" tho, I wish I could find that one - Funny - I
can remember the
place in which it was born - vividly, and when I wrote it, on the
paper I
wrote it on - but I cannot remember the words..... I hope it is just
tucked
away in some drawer of mine and I find it again..... Weird, I met
this
horse, was a part of his life and death for all of maybe 1 1/2 hours
and he
inspired such a moving poem...... sigh......"
"I wish there was someway I could help. Heck, I don't
even know what city he lost it in - I am assuming that it was LA or
in CA someplace. God, It just breaks my heart thinking about
it!! I will keep looking on your page to see if it is found
and returned to the rightful owner. And I will continue to
pray for its safe return."
Wanda shares her poem below:
WE THE BATTERED
We the battered need to form unity for ourselves, regain control
over our lives, the lives of our children, and the basic rights as a wife,
lover and human being.
We the battered do not need to accept the blame for our partners
actions, it is not us who is out of control, it is them. Let them take the
responsibility for their own actions.
We the battered need to start taking care of ourselves, believe in
our own abilities, and take back our spirits so that we can heal them and be
the
stewards of our own Hearts, Minds, Bodies and Souls.
We the battered are not being selfish, we are taking care of
ourselves. We need to start Loving Ourselves with the same passion we reserve for
others, Our lives will love us for it!
We the battered are battered out of "control", not out of
"love".
We can express our emotions, laugh and cry, without handing them our
hearts.
We can share with them our thoughts, without giving up our minds.
We can share with them our fears, secrets, dreams and fantasies
without
giving up our souls.
And the wholeness that you crave Heart, Mind, Body and Soul - Mine
in Mine and Yours in You, take care of them and be their first love. They
are
mortal, but you are constant.
They will make you whole, and your wholeness will give them great
joy!
Together, two whole people, Hearts dancing, Spirits making love, I
am smiling,
Love feels safe now.

 Russell
Crowe pictures at murphsplace!
Kris
Kristofferson and TOFOG. These
two music talents together? That in itself is enough to see
how it went. Check your
public television schedules here
to find out when TOFOG will be on Soundstage. It has been
advertised that it debuts in September 2004.  "Hooray!
I really look forward to receiving this.
Russell's performance and character in "Gladiator" is my
favorite. --Rebecca Stager, flowwalker@yahoo.com
 If
you agree with Rebecca, check out Russell's music. Even my
"music critic" husband
praises their work. He says he stacks up their third CD, Other
Ways Of Speaking, with all the albums he's listened to. It
helps that he heard them play live, which when a band sounds great
live, he feels is the mark of a great band. If you open
yourself to Russell's voice when he sings, you will understand what
my objective husband means about how the personality in Russell's
voice gives the music that extra edge. For example, in Gaslight,
listen to his voice in "Circus was just like home" (first
track) and "Who was I building that castle for? (track 13).
