Sculpting Myself into Faith Icy rain tapping glass Les Mis via Pandora blessed I am peaceful I feel hopeful in new beginnings Centering, centering mentoring middle melodies and mood streams manufacturing ways to word shop a work shop poetic literal beginnings to young people this coming Thursday. Oh God. I spoke ‘yes’ too soon, do they really want me? I’m still a beginner… I’ve only been writing consistently for 13 years and that is nothing compared to others. I’ve been writing since age seven, with fearful hope. What do I have to share with them? Scared, nervous, anxious, anticipation governs my every moment but wait! What if, what if I admit to all of this, like Jean Val Jean, raise my head and read well, and true, and proud who am I? Not recognized by many, but in my own heart Yes, I am a poet. ~*~ © KRJ 1-29-13 9:49 CST |

That's great, dear Karilea! Love the title and how you develop this topic. Yes, you ARE a poet and they will be fascinated with your approach to them, they will notice your inner light through your sunny smile. Never compare yourself to others, you are UNIQUE and you will know how to share your gift. Hugs. Margherita  "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Let us know how it goes. I guess I have been writing steadily although not recently for the lst 13 years or so also. Lately I have been reorganizing my poems and it is funny ( not ha ha)that I don't even remember most of what I wrote and wonder where it all came from. Good Luck ( although I am sure you won't need it) on your newest adventure.  M |

"in my own heart Yes, I am a poet." Yes, you are that for sure! But I think there is no need to sculpt; no, and you are right to say faith, that is all it takes. You will do just fine!  JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

We (poets) can most definitely recognize your concept here. I consider a young six-year-old lad drawing what his young mind things is a heart for his lady-love who is six-and-a-half. A heart to the little lady love has forever branded the your poet as just that; is he doomed, or will millions read his critiques, poetry-wise of lost puppy love. I meandered a bit I think, hope you can ma ke sense of all this gibberish. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Margherita, thank you ever so much as ever for your kind words. I've missed being at Passions and hope to help this place regain its liveliness as there are times I come to read, and it seems like so many are elsewhere. I see many on Facebook, but I think, like many things, virtual communities such as Passions will spark to life once again! Maureen, I will most definitely let you know how things go. I'm so looking forward to this workshop. I have two more possible dates to carry it forward...if I am a hit tomorrow, I may get to fulfill two more occasions. Nothing better than sharing, right? JL...thank you, but I think like most anything, one should never be satisfied with what was today; there should always be enough room in a soul [mine] to learn more, strive more, surround more. But you are kind to think as you do, and I bless you for your thoughts. James...from your thoughts to God's eye. Bless you! JP, I think you and I have, over time, developed a fairly good understanding of our poetic selves, and writers as well. I look forward to getting a copy of your newest novel! You always make sense to me! |

Thoughts of a "debut-ist" for certain, yet interlaced are the leveling thoughts of a person of faith. They make all the difference. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
