Ben,

Thanks for telling us your story. So, it was a psychodelic poem that got ya started, eh? I guess you just squashed that widely held belief that nothing good ever came out of that "psychodelic crap" from the '60s! Most of us seem to have weathered it okay, don'tcha think?

I don't think you are by yourself in thinking that some of your first writing was embarrasing silliness. A lot of folks I have spoken with about this subject have said something similar to that. If we only knew what it would eventually lead to! Thanks for getting back to me and the rest of us on this. Have a really good 2007!

Alan
