awww. Thank you my friend. For years my poetry teacher tried to convince me to embrace the word "poet" and I never felt quite worthy of it. I still don't. I call myself a writer. But I do love writing poetry.
This is EXACTLY my thought!! Which is why I love the general word “writer” because it comes from the verb “write” which is what all writers, poets and playwrights do! :) again, what a shocker that we think alike!
Thank you for this poem, for choosing to continue listening to the podcast, allowing your heart to open- and sharing it. It’s a never ending journey of discovery about the ways of love, and so interesting! It’s also a choice to accept and forgive and love, others as well as ourselves. Within ourselves is a never ending reservoir of love, if we choose to be generous with it. ❤️
It is complex, but it needs to be amplified. We need to say no with love, to say yes with love, to let go with love, to tend to our blindspots in life with love, to soften our hearts to the source, be humble, be human.
Thank you thank you for the reminder and inspiration to welcome love anytime, anywhere and for any brief moment throughout life. Precious and blessed are they
I would so love if you would come to my poetry workshop on Wednesday the 22nd. It is free. It is writing poetry about the heart, with our hearts, connecting with our hearts. It is free.

L’amour est une chose complexe, l’amour est un sentiment noble sous toutes ses formes, l’amour est aussi souvent dans les choses les plus simples, l’art nous connecte à notre propre amour!
Merci de mettre des mots sur ce qui vient chercher chacun d’entre nous 💕

Imola, I think quite possibly you are a natural-born poet. This was lovely, a delight to read.

Poets ARE writers, Imola! And prose writers can be poets, too. Different skills but still playing with words and messages all the same.

I would have to agree.
Wonderful

Be humble, be human. I love that Corie!
A resounding yes to everything you say here Kristy!
Some kindness because love is a big word. Beautiful!
This makes me think...
Some acceptance because true forgiveness is truly hard.
Thank you. ❤️
I hear you Danni. Acceptance can be very liberating when true forgiveness is not yet possible. It takes a lot of softening...
And you, too, Danni. I would love to have you at my poetry workshop on 1/22/25 at 6 pm ET. It is free. It is about the heart, with the heart, and gosh, I can feel your heart through your words. https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsdu2trjIqE9DZM89lFvOQKTMITvbrl9i0
Corie, I would love to. This time I am in Italy! It will be midnight here. How long does the workshop last?
We must utterly forgive and love ourselves first.
Thank you thank you for the reminder and inspiration to welcome love anytime, anywhere and for any brief moment throughout life. Precious and blessed are they
Aww. So glad it has softened your heart Cathy. 😘
So beautiful, Imola! xx
Thank you my friend! Inspiration comes from strange places :)
This is lovely Imola!
Thank you Amy! It was fun to write!
Gorgeous!!!

I think I can Corie! And it would be a delight to meet you! I will put it in my calendar! Thank you for the invite!
It would be a delight to “meet” you, too! It is ok if you have distractions like kids and pets… this is a very down to earth and real workshop.
Pets no, but kids, very possible! :)
Softening sounds like what we need to do... to surf the waves... to learn what we need to learn in this life... and then go...
thank you for this lovely and profound poem!
Thank you Corie, for this generous comment!

D'accord.
Merci Amelie (la “goat”!) pour l’inspiration!
