Simon the poet

feelings from a traveller along life's pathways

I've travelled; I've lived here and there; always searching for something. And yet perhaps the one discovery of recent years has been the realisation that I have a strong clear voice inside. I listen so much to so many voices, some my own - despairing, angry, frustrated, scared. And I want to achieve so much! But what I'd really like is to reach out to you, call you to listen to your voice. And then who knows what might happen in this crazy world of ours. And I'd like to live on in your thoughts. Share what we have and who we are; what else can we do? We all have such strength and beauty and love - we just have to find the courage to show it - and to share it. Because that's where hope comes from. That's how I can face the future.

taking a wider view

Recently a former colleague and fellow member of an informal alumni group published to the group a list of blogs by members. My initial reaction was not to add to the list. Why? Because somehow it was OK to share my thoughts and poetry with strangers and friends, but not with former colleagues. Until I thought of the work of a poet I like and admire - David Whyte. He targets the corporate world with poetry in a way I'd like to emulate. So, why not? Today I answered that. A few minutes ago I emailed my contact with the address of this blog. The view widens; another step.

Simon
