Samana - aesthetic individual, Indian name for groups of people who abandon society and food and water and even the air that they breathe to try to find peace. A Name For A Nature.

I have finally come to the realization that though I often have little taste for much anything else of my creation, I've begun to be able to enjoy my poetry. I don't see it as outstanding above all others nor do I see it as something of great originality or invention. I merely see it a reflection of the subtleties and tone of my own thoughts reflecting my world how I see it and how I want it to be. I see myself in the words I have written, I see myself in their flaws and inadequacies, and in their occasional poetry and poignancy. I can present my words without pretense of arrogance or self depreciation of the art itself. I'm proud of my work because it says what it should say no matter what I wanted it to say at the time or even now. I hope somehow a word or phrase or a piece of mine can find some part in your life as its already a part of mine. Life sharing, I suppose that's what this is about. If you've read this far you're probably a good friend of mine, if you weren't previously, you are now.

Influences: Keroauc, Ginsberg, Frost, Sufjan Stevens, Catcher in the Rye, A Clockword Orange, Maya Angelou, assorted other things I've asorbed, and Gary Snyder
