Out of curiousity, I read the email a stranger wrote in my My Space messaging. And I thought it was so beautiful and endearing to the heart. One thing I said to Faith, Chi and Shem the other day : when I write, there’s succor when I know someone’s reading it. And is moved.

Please read the excerpt of what one kindred spirit from 10,000 miles away wrote to me. Am I  bad that I never said thanks directly! ….

Charisse, I just think your a very talented writer where your thoughts come out clearly and originally on the page, I enjoyed reading what pieces I did and I’ll get into your blog and see what creativity you have there to woo me. I appreciate good writing because I’m a poet and writer myself and artist now as well. September I have plans to take guitar lessons, so life is amazingly what you make of it, how much you put in equates to what you get out. All too true we never get anything out of things that don’t inspire us or move us in some way, but we have to explore, put in the time to find out, relationships are quite similar in that way come to think about it.

Incidentally; I thought your pics you shared are quite wonderful, your daughters are angels and my thoughts reading the Taj Mahal pic was; magnificent is the only word that describes you, quite honestly it’s true and I’m totally honest about thinking that because I only want to deal with the truth period and revealing what those thoughts are is simply affirming what is already true.

Nice to meet you, I hope we can have some deep and meaningful conversations in the near future, I would love that immensely.

Michael
