Words are like brush strokes of emotion; jewels strung together on a satin thread, frames of film following quickly upon each other to create a treasured image. This is what I share; poems that follow me from as early as high school and on through the many years and relationships that follow. Some are amusingly tragic, drama-queen material, some are profound -even insightful, some heartbreaking, some funny.

The Tao, I believe, is experienced rather than known: it's truths individually and intuitively understood. In Finding My Own Way, I share what I hear the Tao Te Ching saying to me. It is my hope that what you read here will contribute to your own understanding of and appreciation for the Tao, as you open to the whispered wisdom of the Sage that lives inside you. Peace and Love, Sylvia
