*April 16, 2003; Glen Ellen, CA: Jack London State Park
Looking back now it wasn't that bad the traveling the discipline the lifelong memories. A chance to know what makes cultures go. A chance to see how others view me not me the person me the "American" we the "Americans"-- the envy of the world, freedon's hope of Democracy. Looking back now I slowly realise the changing view of time's hue how good times remembered outweight the bad that was there too. Maybe it's better this way. I did not want to remember the bad things anyway.

I like this poem. I too hate remembering the past. But I realize that the past help make me the man I am now. What don't kill you should surely make you stronger in a more positive way.

Nicely done, J, and thoughtful.

Spelling..."curltres"...I think you mean 'cultures', don't you? It's the only thing that makes sense. Threw me for a moment.
