...Thanks again Alex! I love reading your comments!!<br /><br />I have, since edited this slightly on paper (but not changing the meaning much) but I might have to post the updated version.

The change, the "awakening" seems to be happening on two simultaneous scales: the inner and the outer. I feel like I've been going through some form of this for the past 10 years. That search for Identity will be a defining feature of our generation. Moreover, I like the phrase "copper coins" and the usefulness of that imagery. And I always like the optimism found in lines like "that little space between is the opening for something."alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00668053969949884856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196906748348595596.post-16251759300687018002010-11-04T21:22:14.336-06:002010-11-04T21:22:14.336-06:00Haha!

Sometimes it's fun to write in the morning because it's a treasure hunt and you don't know what you'll find. It is pretty neat to me that the product of my morning ritual made it into someone else's morning!Lyndia Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793722272886751885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196906748348595596.post-91248776220147270512010-11-04T07:45:25.831-06:002010-11-04T07:45:25.831-06:00Loved reading your g'morning poem first thing ...Loved reading your g'morning poem first thing this morning, Love the metaphor of the whole, and the second stanza is especially sweet.<br /><br />You'll love this - the "word verification" that came up for posting my comment was "power" - how cool is that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
