On the other side

of what we can sense and know

may be something else? 😉

Hope-carrying seeds.

Plant them, and they’ll sprout

seed-carrying hope.

Are we better than others? Scared of others? Different than others? Aloof from others? Does others exist?

In the space, distance

between oneself and others.

Opportunity.

...

May we hear others,

listen well to each other.

Reciprocity.

...

May we see others,

observe through others’ viewpoints.

Wide lens perspective.

...

In this together,

good fuel gift exchange, here, there.

We need each other.

So inspiring! Thank you Marisol 🙏 🎶 💕

Your poetry makes me think about baffling relationships between hostility and hospitality, guests and hosts, hotels and hostages, despots and the impotent...

Waking up from the spell indeed is what we desperately need!

May our words help us

humans in sleepwalking trance.

Inspire each other!

Your writing is magical!!!!! In serendipity, I am actively working on a piece about "finding the center" and moving away from borders that bind and separate. I will look forward to sharing it with you. It felt mystical to see you exploring something similar with your poetic skill. Thank you!

To center center,

crucial kernel, core, hub, heart. 

Essential, essence!

Wonderful series of haiku and poems, Marisol.

I especially like this one:

"In life’s true matrix,

two thresholds to main matters:

Connection, caring."

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much, Marisol, for sharing your beautiful, heart-centred reflections on how to break down walls and build those connecting bridges both physical and metaphorical ones. Your verses here remind me of the power of openness, compassion and the love-filled channels we can build to unite and heal our divided, yet shared world. As always, truly inspiring work! I’ll keep an eye and an ear out for Carrie’s new song, Lifeline, later today. Thanks for the heads up!

Love-filled channels, yes!

Alliterative smile, wink 😉

Sweet sheep loves, swims, thinks?
