I love this poem - its complex form has made me read it in a very... how can I put this? ...conscious, thoughtful way. It'll stay with me. You have such a gift for words, Punit. Wonderful work!
Punit!!! What an honor! Thank you for such a heartfelt shoutout 🥹😭🥰 Will absolutely be noodling on the balance of being outspoken while also choosing silence when appropriate (and powerful!). I loved the form of this week’s poem. I’m so glad you shared your inspiration! We can learn so much from the greats. Thanks for inspiring me as a Great in your own right ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind praise Ariana. I'm so happy that my writing helps my readers stop and think a little. I feel grateful that my words can have a small ripple of influence on someone sitting thousands of miles away 🤗
And congrats again on 100! Cheers to at least 100 more 🥂
Exactly! Spot on! I think I really found my voice and need to "help the world" when my son was born at 39 yrs. I think I suddenly felt so invested in the future for all children. It's absolutely fine not to have children but personally I grew much from the experience. I am sure there are other ways to feel the expanse. I firmly believe if you care for anything you need to take a stance. It can be a gentle and kind and still very powerful! More so. As far as I know, we only go around once to make a difference.
That's probably why community is so important but in a fast paced world where people move often and sometimes far away...the connection is lost. Some things take time...building takes time.
Very true, while silence is golden, sometimes the power of words is important.
As I read you saying this, I am reminded of the power of your words as "Vesemir".

Love this. I remember doing this as an exercise in school and it always helped get the juices flowing. And the message rings true <3
Thank you! So happy that I reminded you of those fun days at school 😀

Such powerful words Heide, and I love how coming face to face with the next generation helped you see the world in such a different way!
