[Writingworkshop] And?

[Adam Holland]

I like this a lot
"
there is no way to find the way
that finds the way you *want* to be"

the triple "way" is great, because it is confusing at first (slightly)  but
then the reader (me) realizes that this confusion is appropriate, because
it's all really the Way, which of course invokes the implication that you
can't find the way just by wanting it.  Desire is not enough, and that
explains the initial supposition the poem mentions.  But of course, there is
a way, and that is, again as the poem reveals, that the Way will find your
way for you.
In fact, it  *is* your way. In fact, there are the same, because ultimately
there is only one Way, and finding your own is merely coming to this
realization.
