See the way

Closing my eyes
against a path that lies
ahead of my age
does a book have to turn its page?

I see the way
to the end of this time
A future that keeps
traveling the line

What doesn't work now
out numbers my past hours
I don't understand the reason
why the body has an ending season

Is see the way
to the end of this time
A future that keeps
traveling the line
Live the life you dream

So I can say this is the way I use to be" -- John Mayer

    This is important. The night before you wrote this I was listening
    to a Pearl Jam concert I missed, the Boston show, something came
    to me through the music a solidified connection upon reaching out to
    the universe It was yet a message in the form of total oneness I remember putting out there to the universe "SEE THE WAY" and YOU DID! I didn't have access to the board immediately to rant and rave to you then but I'm am telling you now that that is incredible to me. You got the message!!!! smiles! It's like a little miracle. I applaud you. We did it somehow. :)
    I'M SO HAPPY!!! YEY! You saw the way...good job!

    First, Amaterasu. I've been really busy, and forgot about this poem I posted here, thanks for emailing me.
    Second, even though it is odd (and people who might read this will think we are crazy) I understand. Not that I think I "tuned" in some message. But I remember writing this poem. It happen as a you said. "SEE THE WAY" emerged into my mind and sparked the words. The poem of course is personalized from my life, but the concept is universal.
    I don't think people can send direct messages to people, like email of the soul, but I do believe that we are connected and I probably did "receive" that message you sent. If you've ever read poems by Wordsworth, or Emerson's "The American Scholar" they address this idea of Nature connecting all of us... very cool!!! Thanks Amaterasu.
