Wow! Your writing on maturity is so profound and is completely resonating within me on such a deep and fundamental level at this time.
I was able to recognize so many themes that you had intricately interwove within your poem in that all of the opportunities are there before us so we are able to course correct ourselves not just as individuals, but humanity as a whole by rising up in our maturity.
I strongly believe and have witnessed that so many individuals do not feel seen, heard, nor understood. They have a perception that finding a middle ground of compromise that we are to shift another’s perspective to their way of thinking and doing instead of seeing it as an opportunity for collaboration in discovering the resolution together for the greater good. In also being able to see another’s view from a way that they themselves may not had considered. I feel strongly that for most it is win or lose, survival of the “fittest” that they will go to great lengths to keep someone pinned down in dulling their light so that they can shine. Instead of coming at it from another angle of when one wins, everyone wins. To truly celebrate one another, to encourage, to fully give support, kindness, and respect because the individual could be sorely lacking in this in most facets of their own life conditions that they are experiencing in their present moment.
And because of this, it only further compounds the situation for everyone, but most of all for ourselves.
Many thanks for sharing this phenomenal poem. You have achieved in lighting a torch in my being to do better, and want better for us all as a world collectively.
Because in the end, by continuing to perpetuate hate only further fractures the division amongst us. 💔
I look forward to reading many more of your writings to continue to inspire me in discovering ways in how I can improve in other areas of my life as a citizen of our world at large. 😉💝💞
Thank you for this poem. I feel less alone in the world knowing someone else understands the “download”- this was originally 5,000 words or was it 5 pages? 5 something. Hahah. But this is the shortened version because attention is no longer sustainable in the mainstream market, and also, I want to respect time. You made me smile and happy weepy with those last lines. Thank you. I needed that. I love the rainbow connection- very true.
I loved your poem - I shared it on the FCW Society FB page and shared your Substack link too! Your words really evoke a powerful message that I wanted to share. Thanks for being a FCW (F*cking Cool Woman!)
Amen! Strong, 360 degree reasoning. Love how we think alike. It is all connected and it all begins and ends with us. This is what too many haven’t understood (yet🙏). But this is fundamental in understanding how to show up. Of course, even then it is difficult. But it is a start. So happy to reread this poem. I just read this chapter last night in your book. 🙏💕
Oh Danni, bless your heart. Thank you for buying and reading my book, I hope you are getting your money’s worth. I hope to find a better publishing platform soon.
I am really enjoying the book. Many ideas that I already hold for a long time. Familiar ideas expressed in new ways. And the feeling of being connected with you. I sometimes feel like I am in the middle bc I see so clearly how absolutely everything is connected. This world likes to separate things (and people) into neat categories, but everything affects everything else. This is still a radical view. It can come off as not taking a side. Maybe bc I do not choose sides or division. Even with my approach to health. Whole being. Not just body parts. Not just body without mind and emotion and all my dimensions. I could go on, but I won't. Anyways, I was so happy to give you the tiniest of support. I love your soul. And I know how difficult getting your book to people is. Are you publishing the other books too? If you have any ideas about platforms please share. I will be starting my next book soon. Love to you. Have a beautiful weekend xo

Thank you for this magnanimous praise. I’m humbled and grateful. “Lighting a torch in my being.”

I look forward to hearing your thoughtful commentary. Thank you.
Hats off for the poet who’s a magician,
juggle words up in the wind and just listen
the sustain of a refrain is a double edged sword
a trump card up the sleeve to make sure we want more
It’s ‘rhymely’, we say where I’m from, for ‘reasonable’
for it makes the meme memorable and repeatable
It conveys that things have been thought thru
but also sometimes downloaded out of the blue
The impulse from above release a puls from below
the talk between heaven and earth is like a rainbow
They meet up in the heart, that is if we can start
without getting caught up in the judgmental part
We just can’t help putting words on our thoughts,
might call it a by-product but we know what it is worth!
So thank you for showing up and spreading the word,
for making us believe in a much better world.
