In intimate ways.

I talk to all sorts of people. Right here in my blog. It's a nice way to connect. I'm sure that people read different things into what I have to say. Because virtually everything has multiple meanings. After all, the proper way to read is to put one's self into the piece. Yes, to relate. From one's personal experience. A little like reading a poem. I'm not afraid to take a different slant than the one intended by the poet. Which is all right. Because I'm opening up a dialogue with the poet. Even dead poets. And in the process, I often become a poet. Therefore, it becomes two poets. Communicating with each other. Enlightening each other. In intimate ways. --Jim Broede
