Hi !
Thank’s a lot for your work Ivan !
Well; I’d like to answer to your question, but I don’t know if actually you’ll really understand what I mean
Including pictures is really a good idea, but to my point of view, not any photo can be puttin’ in.
I’ll try to come back in order to tell you more.

Wow, I’m really touched by so many enthusiastic comments. Thank you, everyone!

And I guess we’ll keep on with the photos. I like being able to bring a visual element to the poems. I wanted to make sure, though, that people didn’t feel the photos overpowered the poetry, since some of these poems are so subtle and delicate. I’ll try to find that right balance…

Ivan, today I was talking with a friend at lunch about not only accepting the inner burning and bearing it but actually asking for it… diving into that fire. Then I came home and found this poem waiting for me. How did you know?
The photo was a nice surprise as well. Thanks for letting your Self find expression in this healing way.
I am grateful,
Allison

Ivan, I think the photos add a lovely touch; I haven’t looked at the blog before, but did so today…the videos, comments and some of your personal sharing really broaden the sense of being part of a wide community, what an experience and privilege. You have brought this into being, and each new idea you introduce is so intuitive and creative..thank you so much, I look forward to reading my e mail in the evenings..now I’ll be looking for the blog with equal anticipation.

Best wishes, Marion

Ivan,

The photos add another opportunity for reflection on the poem and they are also works of art in their own right-I think they work really well in the email.

thanks,

Joanne

Well, perhaps pictures DO say more than a thousand

words! OH, i LOVE THIS POEM, especially ” to read a

single page from the silent book which is your heart,

you’l stop and begin to laugh laugh at all this chattering!” WOW!
