A Journey With WO 3/6/19 Read Count : 49

Category : Poems

Sub Category : N/A

As I completed my morning reading Of the WO writings it occurred to me that this has become an adventure 

I have traveled around the world and beyond-experienced things that I had not encountered before- met people of all backgrounds and ages  and was introduced to a multitude of writing 
styles

What stands out in my mind are the number of people dealing with devastating issues and how they are coping with them
Some are lamenting their situations 
reluctant or unable to move in a positive 
direction-others are determined to gain or regain quality in their lives 
What all have in common is the their 
need and ability to write and share their 
Issues 

Writing of course is valuable as a tool to 
share- express and inform
It is hoped that those who are struggling 
are helped by this process and those who have turned the corner continue to enhance their lives 

This is something that is present in the 
human spirit and motivates us to
achieve for ourselves -our loved ones 
and for people all over the world

WO in its small-unique but vital way 
is part of this process

Excellent read as always Maurice. You are correct. This community helps each other out in a number of ways and has allowed many to meet or discover each other when it would not have happened otherwise. Great piece. Thank you.

Life is exactly that. A journey. This was my first week on WO, and I have lifted so much weight from my shoulders. Knowing that other people face their own demons, and are or have overcome them is a very nice go to place for me. I felt so alone for too long, not allowing myself to be open to others or to share my story with strangers. This journey won't end here it's just beginning. thank you for sharing your honesty and wisdom with us. We can all take a little piece of one another and become more humble. As you observed the fact that we all have in common---our need and abilities to write and share our stories is something so simple that most people find so hard or take for granted. especially myself. It is nice to know that I'm not always alone. I have chosen to give up my pride for the next few weeks in order to gain a deeper prespective on humility. because i believe the world needs more of it.
