I've Always Wanted To Write Poems And

... To Write Well It Is Entirely Necessary To Read Widely And Deeply. Good Poems Are The Best Teachers.

What I Have Done Is Learn To Love And Learn To Be Loved. That Didn't Come Easy.

I Read The Way A Person Might Swim, To Save His Or Her Life. I Wrote That Way Too.

Still, What I Want In My Life Is To Be Willing To Be Dazzled---to Cast Aside The Weight Of Facts And Maybe Even To Float A Little Above This Difficult World.

So This Is How You Swim Inward. So This Is How You Flow Outwards. So This Is How You Pray.
