I just had to share this Blog with you.... It's my very favorite.
Patterns Of Ink
How fruitless to be ever thinking yet never embrace a thought... to have the power to believe and believe it's all for naught. I, too, have reckoned time and truth (content to wonder if not think) in metaphors and meaning and endless patterns of ink. Perhaps a few may find their way to the world where others live, sharing not just thoughts I've gathered but those I wish to give.
I started reading this blog a couple months ago and it quickly became a daily occurence for me because he writes in a way that makes you want to come back day after day.. The blog belongs to Tom K. and everything that I've read of his strikes me as some of the most profound of anything I've ever read. He goes straight to the heart of everything he writes and we just don't see enough of that these days. He's honest and isn't offensive and explains why when he tells us about civitas, 'a community of citizens', in his Why Bloggers Blog series.
In his November 3, 2006 post, titled Resurrected Patterns of Ink, Tom says...
I realize Patterns of Ink is different than most blogs, which tend to be day-to-day journals. My days are interesting enough—no complaints there—but I try not to write about current “happenings” from school or home. As the title poem of this site explains, this is a place for sharing original drafts of personal stories, verse, essays, etc. Most of it reflects current writing, but I sometimes resurrect old pieces that have not been looked at in decades.
I'm still a newbie at blogging I think and I get so excited when I find something online that I think everyone I know should see or have or read. This is one of those times. That's why I'm sharing. Go read Patterns of Ink and I know you'll just love it!

Major Kudos to you Tom K. for expanding minds one verse at a time. :O)
