samsara begins

love the simplicity/fluidity of this piece. Great job!

cheers

Beautiful Sean- So many congatulations with the newborn. How wonderful! Such joy. What is he to be named? ha ha

;)Pia

I don't know if it is related to being a father again, Sean...
but your poetry just gets better and better!

Thank you Jose and Pia. His name is Elijah, a name I didn't pick but am quite okay with. Thank you also, Mangone. On that note, I'll say that I've been working hard at my writing for so long... that there have been a lot of peaks and lows as far as quality. I've lived a little wildly so my creativity has sometimes been disturbed by upheaval or depression, etc., and then I have to re-build. So I'm trying to be more of a stable person. Being a father for the 2nd time, and the first time I get to be involved... is really inspiring for me. So thanks for your kind words all of you.

I’ve always been an extremist and suffered for it… until I learned to be extremely moderate ;O)

thanks Mangone. you know, I appreciate your comment that you see progress recently. it's nice to hear: we can't always see our own direction as clearly as a discerning outsider(especially since I'm an inspiration based writer and don't reflect a lot on my own work.) I get very depressive moods, so I appreciate being validated as a writer.
and I ought to clarify about my 1st son, I've been involved, just not directly involved because I couldn't be; I actually just helped a lesbian friend conceive and stayed in touch.

Lovely.

it's beautiful, and the last two verses are fine indeed. how lovely for your little boy,:}

P.S Just looked up samsara, wonderful word!
