The purpose of bards was to tell in rich and glorious detail the feats of their leaders. Warriors bragged and held themselves in very high regard. The bards themselves had an arrogance born of power, the power of the word. There is nothing wrong with arrogance. The God/dess will temper that as you learn to walk with them. They take what they have and create wonderful things with it.*p*: To become a better poet than I am.

Poetry, like all gifts, improves as it is used. As for holding a woman in your arms, that too will come, and when it does it will be glorious. The best things in life are truly worth waiting for.*p* My soul is fractured. The blackness in my heart is like a *br*: cancer upon me, growing each day.

Tal, I don't see in you the shallowness that you say is there. All of us are shallow at times, it keeps us young. All of us have arrogance, it keeps us strong. All of the things that you seek will come to you if you will but have patience.*p*Treva Something personal... a dialogue Taliesin_2 93 Sat Feb 13 01:13:52 1999
