You are very right in what you say here. My favorite line is,
"I am the sum of my experiences
I have made my choices"

For people to see what is inside, we must open up. Here on the den I think we feel for each other because, mostly, we only see the inside. I'm lucky to have both sides at my access. You're beautiful inside and out.
Love ya--RaeLynn

I love this, Karen. Thank God that you truly know YOURSELF - what a gift! In my rummage bag this evening, it was a toss-up between The Seal and another poem berueing the fact that I'm NOT really known - least of all to myself - which I nearly posted instead... So, perhaps another time. But this is strong and self-confident both in execution and tone, and I deeply applaud you! Love Kate xx

When I first looked at your picture, that white hat and thoughtful look caught my attention. After reading your writings, I'm attracted to the person inside.

I see a mountain which I will never climb, a flower that I will never get, a promise that wouldn't crystalize, a beauty that will never be inside the arms of the beast...and a soul, so pure, that the mud of my world yearns for a drop of it to wash it of its sins.
Before looking inside you I didn't believe...now I do.

I understand, but at first glance it is difficult to look inside . . . Outward apperances count also . . . To some that is ALL that counts and that is sad . . .

Kathy,

I see the strength and the person that I wish I could be. Many people come and go in our lifetime. Some affect us deeply and others not. You have the manner and the personality that is so easy to love. My wife is just like you, a beautiful person inside and out. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

The heart is what keeps us alive and the love that is in it is what makes us so special to God. Your poem is truly an inspiration for all of us to ponder, to look beyond the superficial exterior and find the gold that is within each and has made us what we are.

Dear Kathy, it is not hard to find what I see. The truth is I see your heart and your lovely soul.
The same question was asked by Jesus, when he went with his diciples in row boat. When they were surrounded by water, he asked them what do you see? Then every diciple answered differently and their were all right but no one was able to tell what he hoped that would already be able to see. Wery nice and well done, you are great, best regards to you and your husband Emile
