I do know when I read most amateur poetry, it's hard to read because there's too little that is specific enough to grab a hold of and relate to. My goal thus far in my poems has been to be specific enough to provide some insight into what may have been the inspiration for a particular poem, but leave it general enough to still be something universally human. Probably still have some work to do there. When I read Rilke or Whitman (or listen to Lowen and Navarro or Ben Harper) I do find that universal pretty easy to access. They don't seem terribly concerned about laying out their inspiration in detail. Much more to unlearn... Pink passion paper - love it. I'm finding myself more open to subtle signs from the universe lately. Saw a dragonfly at work yesterday and I swear it was trying to talk to me. I've always had a thing for dragonflies. bine - I’ve not written poetry before.

I almost didn't post it once I started comparing my writing to yours in my head. You are truly an inspiration to me via the written word. Thinking of you and Justin and Evan and Ben and Liam often...
