HI John:)

Did you ever hear that out of confusion comes clarity? So often we are
at a disadvantage when it comes to seeing ourselves out of our issues. 
Yet we can often help another with the same issue. The reason we
*confused* keep at it is that we ourselves are ultimately healed through
our becoming mirrors for others.  In our reflecting back process we
slowly open our own eyes to our own awakening. My poems healed me of
great pain.  I had no one to talk to and didn't even have a computer at
the time.  The web could have done this much faster than the poems,
but(like you)--- writing for me is therapy. I am in awe of the power of
the written word. That they can evoke such emotion is very inspiring for
me.

Like you I had a lack of self-esteem and didn't feel that anyone ever
liked me.  I felt they were polite and tolerant of my being there is
all... I didn't even want to put my poems on the NG for I figured who
would want to read them.  Well, I was shown, and quite quickly I might
add that others did want to read what I had written.  I got well over
500 responses to my poems.  The net did much to bring me out of my
shell.... I am very thankful to you all for that....
