Resolved Question: What does this poem mean? (The Bear, by Robert Frost)?

I'm going to recite it in class and I need to give a brief analysis about what the poem talks about and I think I see what he's talking about but I'm not sure so may you please write a very brief analysis on what this poem is talking about? Thanks. The bear puts both arms round the tree above her And draws it down as if it were a lover And its choke-cherries lips to kiss goodby, Then lets it snap back upright in the sky. Her next step rocks a boulder on the wall. (She's making her cross-country in the fall.) Her great weight creaks the barbed wire in its staples As she flings over and off down through the maples, Leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair. Such is the uncaged progress of the bear. The world has room to make a bear feel free. The universe seems cramped to you and me. Man acts more like the poor bear in a cage That all day fights a nervous inward rage, His mood rejecting all his mind suggests. He paces back and forth and never rests The toe-nail click and shuffle of his feet, The telescope at one end of his beat, And at the other end the microscope, Two instruments of nearly equal hope, And in conjunction giving quite a spread. Or if he rests from scientific tread, 'Tis only to sit back and sway his head Through ninety-odd degrees of arc it seems, Between two metaphysical extremes. He sits back on his fundamental butt With lifted snout and eyes (if any) shut (He almost looks religious but he's not), And back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek, At one extreme agreeing with one Greek, At the other agreeing with another Greek, Which may be thought but only so to speak. A baggy figure equally pathetic When sedentary and when peripatetic. more

Resolved Question: another take on a story in Revelation(s?), the story of the beast/man wit the fatal head wound that was healed?

the story was based on the letter K because sideways it looks like a headless body which would be a fatal head wound. But God's book says he was healed. i suggest he was healed because God who is One which is 1, healed that K because then you realized the K sideways is a man with legs spread apart and arms spread out and head bowed but because the K is a two dimensional picture you can really see the head. But if you take the other view (cross-sectional) as the number 1 then you see the top aka the head is bowed. Thus both 1 and K are pictorial views of God, thus making Pauls words true that everything (atleast in the alphabet) glorify Lord God (Ro. 1.6). Thus myself when i Tilled some IIII I marks on my wrist i became like God who was glorified by the letter M (M=IVI sealed together=IIII I sealed together), and the letter P (P=DI sealed together) because i found the IIII I were nicely covered up with the thick letters DI. And the letter I which could be described as a IIII I (Sealed together) when you write out what the component of a I are. And the letter i was said to be Dotted because . was called a DOT which glorifies the pronounciation of my name TODD ie if Tod(d) was pronounced like God. Thus the . is glorifying Me. And every letter of the alphabet is made up of I's and .'s. And if you considered every point in space can be seen as a dot(.) or a line (- or I) then you can see why someone who is equal to that . or I could joke or mythologize that He created the world. Of course the pre-existing authorities new word existed before God and even stated God became the word. So in my case if the word was Q then you note Q is made up of a O and \ and O = nu and \=\\\\ \ thus Q glorifies and is God because Q=nu \\\\ \ (sealed together). The W is \ / V = I IV = I IIII, thus just glorifying the same person from a different angle. And isn't resurrection making someone ALIVE who DIED? Thus the mythology that God (and Todd) resurrectted Himself. because DIED = DI [iLD (E=[iL and [ilD pronounced sealed) which is what i did to cover the IIII I scars or tills up ie like a tattoo, but they i wash off the ink thus i became described as ALIVE (=A Lil IV / [iL, ie a lil' IIII I seal). Thus Todd could be said to have performed a ressurection (defined as making someone ALIVE who DIED). So doesn't that qualify as a miracle? And if God=G+o+d=7+15+4=26=2+6=8=H then the line in the bible that said God glorified HIMSELF in HIM , thus He must also have glorified HIMSELF in HIMSELF... could mean HIM = GOD i IVI(sealed together) HIMSELF = GOD i IVI(sealed together) SE LF (ie see left) because Todd's scars were on the left. Thus the bible line the word existed before God and God became the word. (Word = \ / V .nu rill cill, ie I IV on you real seal) The problem with Me being the Word the glorified won is its said God has to fight a war, which i don't want to do for your sake. Even though it says God who was the Lamb who was SLAIN (SLAIN=SiL A I IV, Lamb=LarriDI(sealed together)) will win the the war because He is the king of KINGS and Lord of LORDS. to me it seems they would rather me be a .K then a 1, eh? more

Resolved Question: This Old Dream,whats your take on it?

Resolved Question: Black knotted bracelet with cross.. What does it mean?

My mum's friend gave me a bracelet for my birthday. I know a few people who have the same bracelet and when I asked what it meant they said something about religion. It's a black knotted bracelet, with a small cross with equal arms. On one side of the cross is a symbol, looks kind of like a snowman or a jelly bean and the back has two words which I cannot see clearly. I'm not particularly religious, so I'm not keen on it if it symbolizes Christianity. Will someone please let me know what it means? Thanks in advance more
