The One True Dream Comments

Rating: 5.0

I was sitting under an oak tree
in a vast, trackless forest,
alone, until I saw a hooded figure
stride passed me. I said, 'Are you, too,

How wonderful and fortunate when we meet a soul who inflames our desire to evolve and give service to our fellow human beings. The gift of your poem stirs this desire immensly. Thank you Daniel.

radiant gold-body, luminous figure - such poems I like most! thank you! Miracle - 'Any event that increases your faith! - wise definition! In the play, SAINT JOAN - in what play?

Mercy. Your other poems I've enjoyed very much, but this one strikes me at a whole different depth. It is not the form, though beautiful, that penetrates my poetic soul, rather the power and amazing grace (if you will) of the content, the way of expression that this poem has a life unto itself, or perhaps of something much greater. Whether or not the event is an actual one is not the point, the fact is the way in which you have presented it gives the story undeniable truth, it really has happened, and does happen every time someone reads it. An absolutely brillant work. I love it. A favorite, indeed.

Somehow Daniel, i think it is psychological too. But isn't this fantastic psychology. A dream and then three days of being able to help others like never before. The way our brain works is truly amazing. The effects of faith, the effects of inner motivation on the capabilities of humans and on events unfolding in our lives are truly mind boggling. I do think that quantum physics and psychology of faith and expectations do touch each other. This is a wonderful story.

Love the stories your pieces tell. The accompanying note is very helpful. I've always felt the ones who come into our life for short periods are either in our life to learn from us or vice versa. One the pupil and one the teacher. But then sometimes I also think we could be both. Teacher and student. Can you tell I'm a Libra? Never ask me to make a decision!
