Image

If I could re-create myself as someone else

whom you could see as someone to admire

I might capture the dreams in your jaded eye

if any love still exists in your heart to inspire

After all the years pass by do feelings matter anymore

or do they wash beneath the bridges to die on rocky shores?

If you only love an image where will you be

When the image fades away, and all that's left is me?

Lullabye

The young men who were taken to fight and die in the wars were still schoolboys
with bright and promising potential, never realized because the wars took all that
away from them and us.  War destroys the youth and beauty and goodness of this world.
When will we all wake up and understand that war and competition will never solve
the problems that must inevitably engulf us all? 

War is a distraction so that we will have something to do
while a greater destruction is in the planning process.
May the Lord have mercy on all of the people who are bound to be destroyed
in the next wave of crises. I wish I knew how to stop the tragedies of life.

Common Ground

People need someone to talk to

who won't misunderstand

who supports and comforts them

when their souls need help to stand

People may seem dissimilar

as if from different lands

Circumstance divides them

At first they may not understand

But put them together

out of their usual place

they'll find they have much in common

though each displays a different face

In the most wretched circumstance

destructive thoughts solidify

It's easy to lose focus

as events keep whizzing by

Sometimes it helps to talk

adjust and clarify

Put each thought back in it's place

and keep the soul alive

Looking at the programming material brought questions in my mind.

What is a reference type?

In programming language theory, a reference type is a data type that can only be accessed by references. Unlike objects of value types, objects of reference types cannot be directly embedded into composite objects and are always dynamically allocated. They are usually destroyed automatically after they become unreachable.

For immutable objects, the distinction between reference type to an immutable object type and value type is sometimes unclear, because a reference type variable to an immutable object behaves with the same semantics as a value type variable—for example, in both cases the "value" of the data the variable represents can only be changed by direct assignment to the variable (whereas for mutable objects, the data could be changed by modifying the object through another reference to the object).

This is a bit confusing. Too much information in one glob for me to handle.
So, the next question:

What is a reference?

Noun

• S: (n) mention, reference (a remark that calls attention to something or someone) "she made frequent mention of her promotion"; "there was no mention of it"; "the speaker made several references to his wife"
• S: (n) citation, cite, acknowledgment, credit, reference, mention, quotation (a short note recognizing a source of information or of a quoted passage) "the student's essay failed to list several important citations"; "the acknowledgments are usually printed at the front of a book"; "the article includes mention of similar clinical cases"
• S: (n) reference point, point of reference, reference (an indicator that orients you generally) "it is used as a reference for comparing the heating and the electrical energy involved"
• S: (n) reference book, reference, reference work, book of facts (a book to which you can refer for authoritative facts) "he contributed articles to the basic reference work on that topic"
• S: (n) character, reference, character reference (a formal recommendation by a former employer to a potential future employer describing the person's qualifications and dependability) "requests for character references are all too often answered evasively"
• S: (n) reference, denotation, extension (the most direct or specific meaning of a word or expression; the class of objects that an expression refers to) "the extension of `satellite of Mars' is the set containing only Demos and Phobos"
• S: (n) reference, consultation (the act of referring or consulting) "reference to an encyclopedia produced the answer"
• S: (n) reference, source (a publication (or a passage from a publication) that is referred to) "he carried an armful of references back to his desk"; "he spent hours looking for the source of that quotation"
• S: (n) address, computer address, reference ((computer science) the code that identifies where a piece of information is stored)
• S: (n) reference (the relation between a word or phrase and the object or idea it refers to) "he argued that reference is a consequence of conditioned reflexes"

Verb

• S: (v) reference, cite (refer to) "he referenced his colleagues' work"

This says to me, that a reference type programming command does not access an actual object, or piece of information. It just talks about it, states that it is somewhere, acknowledges awareness of its existence.

Jezus is de goede herder
Jezus Hij is overal
Jezus is de goede herder
Brengt mij veilig naar de stal

Als je 's avonds niet kunt slapen
Als je bang in 't donker bent
Denk dan eens al die schapen
Die de heer bij name kent

Jezus is de goede herder
Jezus hij is overal
Jezus is de goede herder
Brengt mij veilig naar de stal

En wanneer je soms alleen bent
En je hart is vol verdriet
Denk dan aan de goede herder
Hij vergeet Zijn schaapjes niet

Jezus is de goede herder
Jezus Hij is overal
Jezus is de goede herder
Brengt mij veilig naar de stal

 Jesus is the good shepherd
Jesus He is everywhere
Jesus is the good shepherd
Bring me safely to the barn
If your night can not sleep
If you are scared in the dark are
Think about all those sheep
In particular, knows that Mr.
Jesus is the good shepherd
Jesus he is everywhere
Jesus is the good shepherd
Bring me safely to the barn
And sometimes when you're alone
And your heart is full of sorrow
Think of the good shepherd
He forgets not His sheep
Jesus is the good shepherd
Jesus He is everywhere
Jesus is the good shepherd
Bring me safely to the barn
