(Though it's nice to think I'd have discovered it eventually.) I look forward to absorbing more of your thoughts and learning the way you see.<br /><br />Oh, yes ... and this poem in particular sang songs within the controlled chaos of my mind, and its echoes still linger in my thoughts, where dreams rest golden, waiting for their goose.

I was lying on the ground breathing and saw the clouds behind the leaves of the trees which led me to thoughts of the grail legend and onto a self realization. Good call there, you.

Such an inspiring read, I must add!! <br />"We grasp the diamond ransom<br />From the sacred cup of insight." -- particularly loved these lines... when we see those little glints of hope, we hold onto them, and then emerge successful - inspite of all hardships! That's the power of self, that's the power of recognizing the strong being in oneself...<br /><br />I really enjoyed reading this piece.. it kinda filled me with some warmth, something like one feels after coming out of a meditative period.. <br />Lovely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943152373837433678.post-11626121011885291062010-08-19T11:31:19.915-05:002010-08-19T11:31:19.915-05:00Thank you Willow for those kind words, for coming ...Thank you Willow for those kind words, for coming by to read and especially for the follow.
