However tonight I took the time to look and was rewarded by your amazing talent. Your words move me to tears and you are able to express my own feelings in a way I never could. <br /> Thank you for this beautiful poem. You are a truly wonderful writer. <br /> Just this afternoon, exhausted after my own set of issues, and after taking some time walking and sitting in the sun at a local park, I was thinking many of the same thoughts and wrote a note to myself; "I begin again". <br /> I guess that is life. Each day. Each moment. We must begin again.Judihttp://momonthealert.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10097960.post-63700588646563877792010-03-31T20:28:05.144-07:002010-03-31T20:28:05.144-07:00Dear Maya,

It should be about 'thankful'--about what it feels like to encounter yourself in snapshot moments--brief but undeniable--in poetry, in sand-between-toes, in tears so perfect they make you cry...About the reassured welcome each time I visit your page and remember why I begin again.

Maya, I love your work but this one spoke to the heart of me. It is a seed offering, a gift, if only we could realize that in the pain of it all. Thanks again for helping me realize none of us are truly alone.
