blog for Michael Davies (renegade poet)
Sometimes we mislay things and think they are lost forever. Then, when they magically reappear, we are doubly delighted. That is what happened to me recently. Michael Davies sent me the link to his wonderful blog, and, before I could post the site on my own blog, I lost sight of it among my many unsorted e-mails. Yesterday, I was gratified to find it once more, and decided to publish Mike's self-description (do you recognize some aspects of yourself here?) as well as some choice quotes from his blog. He describes himself (modestly) as a "master of Kundalini and Goddess energy" and I wonder how many of us who also follow a Kundaini/goddess path might also be "renegades.' One of the marvels of the internet is that it allows us to contact others like ourselves, and thus feel some connection with like minded souls on this "lonely planet.
I encourage you to look up his blog at:http://renegadepoet.wordpress.com
