WHO IS SHE?

Everyone seems intrigued with "names" -- "who" is really "who".

Names don't really matter in the long run -- it is "who" you are inside which is important --

Getting in "touch" with one's self, I believe is something we all "do" at some point in our lives.....it was a journey I wanted to make.

"MindTraveler" is the name my great grandmother gave me when I was very young. She told me I would always be "searching" -- she was right.... I am ever in search of "the right words".

Traveling with shadow visions in the night -- spirits? Words? A vision quest? Just "going somewhere"....? Only she knew that I would be "traveling" in this manner, it seems.

It can be tortuous to the mind, heart and soul to "travel" in one's mind -- but it is an ever active quest which I have always been as a "work in progress" -- and when one discovers that a particular journey has been rewarding -- and knowledge is gained in the traveling, how delightful are the feelings!!

I hope that journey never ends. When my soul ceases to "wander" and "search" -- the need for the quenching of my spirit will be at an end....and I am not yet ready for that.

As long as there are "words".....I will be "alive". When a mind ceases its quest for "knowledge", and "living" then the journey is truly over.

Trying to say the right thing, for me, is sometimes a disaster better left "unsaid". Trying to "write" the feelings I have can be even more disastrous.

Thus -- I let the poetry of others' speak for my soul.

Herein you will find "me".

These poems represent who I am. How I feel. What makes me tick. What makes me function. What fires my passions. What makes me "fight" for what I feel to be "right". What causes hot, scalding tears in the reading of them. What touches my heart and soul -- 'tis me -- which you will find within.

My "name" is not of importance.

Again -- "good journey" to you.....
