I have a busy and often troubled life but I get by largely due to my many interests. I was always a little curious about poetry, it meant nothing to me but a lot of very bright people were obviously getting something quite significant from it and I hate to miss out. I have long suspected, sometimes even sensed a spiritual dimension to life and yearned to explore this. Perhaps you can imagine the pleasure that I felt upon discovering that exploring one aids understanding of the other. Progress is slow but I am getting there. Very best wishes Bob Hello Ivan

I am slowly and very fast unpacking my feeling and touch functions that i myself had neatly folded and stored in a pantry of numbness. It is wonderous to get permission and courage to stand forward into now, into life. i am grateful Ivan, I have the same crooked smile of wonderment plastered across my face.

I value Poetry Chaikhana very much and often send it on to friends. I could relate very much to your story of spiritual search - especially the line "I felt I was a mostly good-hearted person, but largely ineffectual. I had the ironic recognition that I was basically a likable flake". I don't know the word 'flake' (excepts when referring to things like snow, and as the name of a chocolate bar), but I know what you mean, and have had exactly that feeling towards myself. I haven't got to the feeling that it's OK yet, however..... All blessings to you, as always, and all your loved ones. Helen Thank you, Ivan, for your deep sharing with us.

It is a wonderful treat to get the poems from you on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I am a poet and I LOVE sacred poetry as well. When I read sacred poetries I say to myself I am not the only one who was searching. I feel at home, filled with peace and love. Thank you for sharing these wonderful treats with us.
