Introduction

This is a sa-#!e o7 the second 4ook in the hange the "ay You Face the #ay series.

* no6 *ou -ight ha"e noticed or heard the 4ooks are set u# in an uncon"entiona!

6a*. True enough< the* are< so !ets ask 6h* 6ou!d 6e start each one 6ith #oetr* i7

the idea is to get our heads on straight in 7acing the cha!!enge and o##ortunities

each da* !a*s out 7or us.

For -e< the ans6er is si-#!e. See i7 in ti-e *ou -ight not share this idea= In $oetry

we have a medium that conveys the maximum amount o% in%ormation in the smallest

amount o% s$ace&Just think a4out those 6eird !ines *our high schoo! !it teacher -ade

*ou #ore o"er< 6ith *ou 6ondering i7 #oets -ade their 6a* 4* s#eaking in ridd!es. O5ti-e 9u!it'er 9ri'e

Winner Car! Sand4urgs !ine< ?The 7og co-es on !itt!e cat 7eet@A ard not to get the

#icture and 7ee!ing< rightA One thing 7or sure< #oetr* isnt 6ord*. O4scure so-eti-es

and 7!o6er* at others< *et 4rie7 6ith the su4Bect -atter. 8nd 7reuent!*< dead>on in

ini-ita4!e 6a*sD

ecause the #oets -eanings are so-eti-es hidden around the corner< ho6 great it

can 4e 6hen #eo#!e 7or- 4ook>reading grou#s 6here the* engage their heads and

hearts together to -ake disco"eries that at ti-es -a* 4!o6 their -indsA 8nd dee#!*

a77ect their !i"es . . . This can ha##en 6ith #oetr* as -uch as 6ith an* other 7or- o7

6riting. 8nd as *ou!! see< -* 4rie7 #oe-s are on!* a 6a* o7 getting started in this

s-a!! 4ook. I a!so o77er -* #hotogra#h*< re7!ections and grou# discussion uestions

a!! accessi4!e to 6ea"e a thread o7 "ita!it* through *our !i7es e44 and 7!o6.

So !et -e o77er a !itt!e guidance to *ou and *our 7riends that -a* #ro"e he!#7u! i7 *ou

choose to go in this direction together. S-a!! grou#s are resource7u! and creati"e 4ut

not a!6a*s eas*. Theres a ski!! or disci#!ine reuired to get the -ost out o7 the-.

rou#s 7or our #ur#oses shou!d 4e in the range o7 ) to $ -e-4ers. S-a!!er than

that< the* !ack di"ersit* and energ* !arger< and the* 7a!! into a 7e6 "oca! #eo#!e

do-inating 6hi!e others 6ithdra6 and re-ain si!ent. This is not an ar4itrar* range I-

suggesting. Studies su##ort it.

So here's the main rule&8t the 4eginning o7 e"er* -eeting< the chosen 7aci!itator

shou!d ask each -e-4er in turn around the circ!e to share his or her reaction
