The Path of Descent is very real and usually very painful, but something else is equally true. Love is both who we are and who we are still becoming, like a sunflower seed that becomes its own sunflower. [...] Love cannot happen any other way. Love flourishes inside freedom and then increases that freedom even more.

Hi 4woody ,

This is a very lovely poem/saying. Thank you for posting it for everyone.

I had written some poems years ago, but hadn't had the time to create them lately. Who is your favorite poet? :-)

A wonderful poet! I find myself on a road I would not have chosen, yet trust I will find my way. Do you have a favorite poem?

I like a lot of his poems. It's hard to decide which to pick. "The Woods" is posted in a middle school that I had gone to years ago and is also named after him. :-)

The Woods is lovely. Read this one today. It’s a little melancholy:
