my life is such that it comes before me again asking to be considered where have I been? where am I? where will I be? the last time I asked these questions they were easily answered you have been there you are here you will be elsewhere but, of course, that was the last time I walked this plane times were simpler then the only things that I really needed were a sword and a good horse but now, things are far more difficult the world has changed but, I seem to have not I still seem to be stuck in that same place that's been forgotten by so many there are times where I wonder why I'm still here when everyone else seems to be so far ahead which brings me back to this place and to these questions where have I been? where am I? where will I be? and, I still feel that I'm the only one just then, the light shows me again just ahead and I can hear myself ask where have I been? where am I? where will I be? and the voice answers ------------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

WOW!!!Absolutely marvelous. I love it. Now, sweet man, I do hope you will be here with us all because that is where we want you to go. You know, Sven, we all change and you have been too but maybe you just can't see it. I will tell you something. When I first started reading your work about a year ago I loved it....now when I read your work I want to rejoyce because it is magnificent. This poem is a perfect example of the Sven I have come to know and love through his talented pen.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Well written thoughts and contemplations Sven. I don't think we ever have all the answers, but, I think, by asking the questions, we are halfway there. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

At least you seem to know where you've been and who you are, if not where or who you'll be in the future. "times were simpler then the only things that I really needed were a sword and a good horse" I feel that way too some days, except for the sword part  |

where have I been? where am I? where will I be? My Dear Sven, I can say this much...You asked where have I been?... You have been here in my heart and many others...Not one day forgotten. You asked where am I?...You are still in my heart and in many. Your absolute kindness lies in us all. You asked where will I be?...You will always remain here in this heart of mine and in everyone's at Passions...for in "you" you have a rare beauty that simply touches us all here and I am sure all those around you. Everyday we reach a new plane...sometimes we even repeat an old one...but always we get stronger. You taught me that in the short time I have known you. Don't you ever think there isn't a place in this world for you...or feel you aren't getting anywhere in life. You are beyond far because anyone with a heart of gold such as yourself can't be anywhere but ahead. Just turn around and sincerely look back. You will see all those faces you once have guided, every soul you taught to smile, and every heart you showed unconditional love. And, if you look long enough you will see the great distance you have paved and keep in mind you saved a dream for each of us you're whole journey through. Take care Sauni @~~~>~~ |

"where have I been? where am I? where will I be? -------------------- You ask such questions dear friend.....I find them so so similar to my own... They echo within all that I have within me.... I hope we'd both find the answers ....soon.. Thank you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

BRAVO! Could that voice be the echo of the GR8 Voice of the Northlands? I suspect that might be the case |
