I LOVED IT. I honestly wish we had more time than we were alloted to dig deeper into that meaty poetry stuff. You did a great job and it really gave me hope...hope that I can be the kind of poet that my insides tell me I can be.

When I think of what you have accomplished, I am truly impressed. I hope you get some time to let all your successes sink in and to enjoy all the good you have experienced in your 40 years. You continue to be an inspiration to me and I hope this year will bring a lot of happiness. <br /><br />Thanks for posting!Jennifer B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18027072144184440842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23774671.post-61858259624490652002010-06-27T21:14:53.827-07:002010-06-27T21:14:53.827-07:00I'm reader number five.

Though my experiences have been different (not quite 40) the emotions that go along with them parallel yours. So I'll tell you what I've been telling myself about 50 times a day, "Hang in there, the path will become clear." <br /><br />And thanks for the video. I missed the conference this year so it was nice to have that little snippet of nostalgia. <br /><br />Hope your busy July is fantasticHoontahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601234829089589146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23774671.post-52026308064587361602010-06-27T20:27:24.724-07:002010-06-27T20:27:24.724-07:00Well, I make four readers (if Anonymous actually d...Well, I make four readers (if Anonymous actually deserves to be counted--hmph!).<br /><br />It was great to practice listening with you.

Right now I can't usually get away for conferences and workshops, but in a few years I'd love to be volunteering for Segullah or WIFYR.<br /><br />I think it was on my mission that I learned just how true the fable is about the man who's taking his donkey and his son to the market. It's the fable where people keep criticizing the configuration of who's riding or not riding on the donkey, and the man takes each person's different advice until in the end he's carrying his son AND the donkey on his own back. On my mission there was always someone who thought I was too lazy and someone else who thought I was too driven, or someone who thought I was too worldly and someone else who thought I was too pious.<br /><br />Even having had that experience, I'm still always shocked by new examples of the truth of the fable, and your lyrical/plotted story is a stunner. I'd be frustrated, too. I hope you get a really great post-40 celebration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
