Beautiful poems!!

It’s just like Anais Nin said: „We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.“ Reality is so subjective. I guess that’s a gift.

Thank you, wildflower! 🙏

Yes, it’s a gift: each of us brings a unique perspective, thanks to the gift of being alive.

For example without being alive, I could not admire your art or read your poems.

Notice how your art expands far beyond imagination—it’s infinite: after one inspiration comes another—it’s called breathing.

Such a gift you have.

Anaïs was so wise.

I am sure you see how wonderful this life is….

…because that’s what you are…

Thank you so much, Forrest! 🤍 Sometimes I’m afraid losing inspiration, but I always realize that’s it’s all in me. Nothing from the outside. It is me, like it is you, like it is everyone!!

oh my gosh thank you Nadia I am just writing what’s on my mind, just to reflect myself. If you find beauty in them is because you are beauty itself. 🙏

Brilliant. Fucking great read. I love this idea that all perspectives together are God looking at itself creating itself. Beyond my truth/ your truth- the little peaks from different angles, facets- make this whole undulating thing of life. The truth. The great I am. Seeing that it’s a perspective from the whole dang thing

Yippee 🤸🏽!

You saved the day, Forrest. 🌿

When I clicked the podcast it opened a new window to load Utube.

I didn’t wait for it to load, assuming it was just a few minutes of birds 🐦.

This time it played inside your post.

Fantastic !

Enjoyed when one adult bird was sharing food with an other adult.

Thanks 🙏
