-- Oh, my dear Elena, your attention to detail in noticing the intention behind the italics astounds me! My mom always says that we can only perceive what already resides within us, what our hearts are suffused with. What are musings and hopes if not the essence of a life fulfilled with warmth, joy, and countless moments of beauty? Your presence is truly cherished, and the thoughtfulness of your comment warms my heart profoundly. Thank you for your kind words; they mean the world to me. ❤️🔥
This is exquisite! It brought to mind Richard Rohr’s daily email yesterday—do you get them? I will find and link!! It was as if you were collaborating.
-- Oh my God, Isabel! I’ve heard of Richard, but I never signed up until today. I’m absolutely in love with the content of the link you sent me. I wrote my essay on Sunday, inspired by a recent read and a bundle of notes on my docs. I’m truly honored that it reminded you of such a beautiful reflection. I can’t wait to receive many more via my email! ‘Exquisite’ is synonymous with magical, and your presence here always brings me joy. Thank you, my friend. ❤️🔥
-- I am glad you found it beautiful, C. It’s always a pleasure to share my musings with friends like you. It’s moments like these that remind the heart of the beauty and magic that surrounds us. Grateful to walk this journey together. ❤️🔥
"The impulse feels like a tidal wave of impassioned audacity and steadfast composure, springing forth from a wealth of contemplation — both inward and outward — shattering the meticulously crafted shell that once enclosed my world."
your embrace of optimistic introspection is so poetically and lovingly rendered here and i love how you juxtapose it with this calming shot of nature which you are careful to "notice" as well
it may be Valentines Day for most but i see this platform as akin to pitchers and catchers heading to spring training packing their bags and so many stories and talents and hopes and dreams yet to be fulfilled but THERE nonethelee....hiow will or can we give EACH their due? hmmmmmmm
-- Thank you deeply for your thoughtful and insightful reflection on my essay, Apple. Indeed, there’s a poetic and loving quality to the way you describe it, highlighting the importance of mindfulness and appreciation for both inner reflection and the wonders of nature. There’s also a sense of anticipation and preparation for the journeys ahead. As for giving each their due, perhaps it lies in embracing diversity, listening attentively to every voice, and fostering a supportive community where all can thrive and share their unique gifts. Here’s to welcoming the ‘stairs’ with open hearts and minds. ❤️🔥

It means the world to me to know that my words have resonated with you emotionally. Sharing this connection through language is truly a gift. Thank you for acknowledging it. ❤️🔥
Some of my favorite words in this essay are the transformative power of committed belief. When this is coupled with a broad perspective and a willing open mind it's likely one of the most transformative powers there is. Thank you Thaissa❤
-- Donna, your reflection beautifully captures the essence of my essay’s message. Indeed, the transformative power of committed belief, when intertwined with a broad perspective and an open mind, possesses an unparalleled capacity to shape our lives and the world around us. It speaks to the profound influence our mindset and convictions can have on our experiences and the paths we choose to follow.

Gentle yet effective ... now with elements of metaphysics. Thanks for this delicate dance that gives form to thoughts, all while remaining slippery and ungraspable at the same time.
-- Your acknowledgment is deeply appreciated, Patrick. It’s as if you’ve recognized the intricate ballet of language and perception, where words mold the formless yet leave room for the ineffable to dance freely. Thank you for gracefully joining in this path of exploration and reflection. Here’s to embracing the beauty of the ungraspable as we journey through the realms of thought and existence. ❤️🔥
“a cornerstone in one’s life doesn’t always demand a severe hand; sometimes, it’s about the serene balance and the openness to embrace its nuances.”
As I am playing catch-up now, I am once again astonished. (Because you told me, a while back, you cannot speak English so well?) …and then read this poignant, pounding, anticipatory— (that may not be the right word) what I find so amazing about this piece is that you thread the needle so perfectly between acting in the “now” and having faith in a brighter future.
You are such a compelling writer, and so concise in your intent, that it is nerve-racking just to comment upon it… Once again, you leave me thrilled.
-- Receiving such a thoughtful and encouraging comment is incredibly humbling and gratifying. The delicate balance between acknowledging present challenges and nurturing hope for a better future is an art form that resonates deeply with me, and I’m thrilled it resonated with you as well. Your recognition of the concise yet impactful nature of my writing is deeply appreciated; I always strive to convey my thoughts and emotions with clarity and precision.
Your words serve as a source of inspiration for me to continue pushing myself, to explore the intricacies of language further, and to craft pieces that connect with readers like yourself. Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your insights, Sea. Xo.
-- Thank you very much, Arty! I’m delighted that you, like me, appreciate the beauty of deliberate yearning. It’s certainly a brave concept to embrace. Your kind words are deeply appreciated, and it brings me joy to hear that the lyrical poetry of my thoughts connects with you. ❤️🔥
-- Thank you so much for your kind reassurance, P. I’m thrilled that my words resonated with you and sparked inspiration. I hope that spirited energy fuels your journey with love! Here’s to keeping flowing like water and embracing our inner fire. ❤️🔥
-- Rolando, your words serve as a powerful testament to the ability of language to ignite the soul and propel us forward. I’m delighted that this piece has stirred such profound emotions within you, guiding you along a path filled with beauty and meaning. ❤️🔥
noting your italics, a poem emerged:
transcends observing flames
high mediums
pursuit (of) magnified hope
miraculous consciousness musings;
universe, learn:
light, belonging
