*Gallery Reading Room* today Wordweaver I went into the woods not to find you, but to find myself you see, I've been lost for a while now too not knowing which way to go what path to take not knowing if I should follow my heart (I guess I've always followed my heart) or, if I should listen to the sounds and the words of those who seem to think that they know me better than I know myself (there seem to be a lot of them these days) so, this morning I heard a song a song sung sweet and low carried by the wind through my window it was time for me to go and so, I went they were ready for me ready to share with me the things that they had learned the words that they had heard the songs that they had sung all these things they gave to me Wordweaver so that I might know which path to take which way to go follow your heart follow your heart follow your heart today Wordweaver I went into the woods not to find you, but to find myself and in finding myself, Wordweaver, I found you Note: Wordweaver represents the poet in all of us. . . thank you. . .  ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 05-07-2001).] |

to the sounds and the words of those who seem to think that they know me better than I know myself" If I don't know myself than who am I to tell you who you are. Sven the words you share are always sincere, don't change for anyone except yourself. |

You portray the essense of poetry..writing that takes us to a place where we discover who we are and what we are about..not writing to please but sometimes in our truthfullness we do please..because we do have common emotions and experiences and the need to understand others. Beautiful write! |

wow. . . thanks to everyone for your words. . . and thanks for reading this. . . yes, the woods to seem to be very popular these days. . . simply because I think, for most of us, it's been a long winter. . .  ----------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.
