Of forms I have cherished in long forgotten times. Ah the journey of form in search of its mate. Love in search of Love. Intertwining Lovers in search of each other. Will they connect? Were they ever apart? Ah the Journey. I am with you forever. Much Love Jim Atwell Ah the journey
Songs I have sung of places long forgotten,
Of dreams I have dreamt of desires of long ago.
Of forms I have cherished in long forgotten times.
Ah the journey of form in search of its mate.
Love in search of Love.
Intertwining Lovers in search of each other.
Will they connect?
Were they ever apart?
Ah the Journey.
I am with you forever.

Much Love
Jim Atwell

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.
Without her you would have never set out on the road.
She has nothing more to give you….
…And if you find her poor, Ithaca has not deceived you.
I’ve got my answer that i’ve been struggling with for months!!
What all Ithacas we set out for… and in what all ways we gain the way!!!
