Sunshine brought this challenge to my attention. I scrawled out the following and then I quickly read through the I AM responses to see who everyone else was--without replying to anyone, sorry about that, because all of the I AM responses were so INTERESTING! I AM I am quiet and withdrawn I wonder how to break out of my shell I hear smiles I see laughter I want to help myself, others I am quiet and withdrawn. I pretend not to care I feel other people's pain I touch souls I worry about cruelty, harshness & abuse I cry when I see injustice prevail I am quiet and withdrawn. I understand the imperfection of humanity I say that life can get better I dream of a happier world I try not to generate paranoia I hope that I help others by listening I am quiet and withdrawn.

You most certainly touch souls, my friend... and I for one, as well as Paige, have been highly blessed! |

We two have very much in common -- this makes me think of myself in a whole bunch of ways, starting with the first line but most definitely not ending there. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

You may be quiet, but please don't ever be withdrawn. You have to much to offer the world! You are one whom I would like to get to know better! Reading one's poetry is a marvellous way of learning about their essence. Thank you for sharing some of the true of you by rising to the "I Am Challenge"! ![]() Love & Soul Light, Linda |
