In Lak'ech Ala K'in

May we live as one indeed. Being united is strong than any division, but people seem to thrive on this sense of 'us vs them' as if it gives them some sort of upper hand. Bless this poem so much.

Thank you so much for your comment, dear! I'm glad you enjoyed this one and you are right... it's the need for power that many people have that divides us...

Your mind is beautiful, can I live there, please?😍

You're most welcome, dear! I'm afraid it will drive you crazy though ;-)

I love that pic 😁. You should be a political speaker. In a world where everything is all about selfishness, words of coexisting should be heard.

Wonderful 🤗

I love that idea :-)  Great to hear you love the pic (I'm pretty fond of that one myself) and the poem... thank you so much for your comment, my friend!

A most beautiful idea lovely Duende so wonderful to ponder such a place if we could but live like this..

love Crim

Thank you so much for your comment, dear Crim! I know it's probably a utopia, but one can only dream... and strive to make at least a change... Love, Duende

I'm singing the Youngbloods song Get Together..."Come on people now, smile on your brother. Everybody get together, try to love one another"....beautiful

I really like it when my poem brings music to someone's mind and Get Together is a lovely song! Did you check out the song that comes with the poem? It's a favorite of mine: instant happiness :-) Thank you so much for your comment, Tim

Keith Richard's still has it. It seemed like reggae mixed with Calypso infused with a little Spanish guitar... Really cool.

Great to hear you like it! The second song is from Bob Marley, so yeah... reggae :-)

Every word it's own truth, together a beautiful tapestry you've woven.  Saving this one for future reference.  Thank you

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this one... thank you so much for your comment, dear Ash

I agree fully with your sentiments; nicely done. Love the picture. I guess "love one another ..." is about as political and sustainable as it gets; and countering 'divide and rule' starts in processing our own negative experiences.

Welcome to my page, Josh and thank you very much for your comment! I saw on your profile you're a pacifist, so I'm not at all surprised you agree with my sentiments... I really appreciate your thoughts!

You have such a positive vibe with this poem - I wish I could join you :-(

this poem is lovely :-)

Thank you for your comment and for calling this poem lovely... I'm glad you felt the positive vibe :-)

Bag of sugar hearts received! Thank you so much for your enthusiastic and smile inducing comment, dear Aemelia... much appreciated :-)

Strength in numbers, Duende.  This is a joy to read with its exhortation to peace.  So much cynicism around and you maintain your optimism.  Love this, but the title escapes me....

Thank you so much for your comment, Crowfly! I'm glad to hear you ejoyed this one :-) The title... it's a Mayan greating which simply means: I am you and you are me (basically a recognition that we are one)

amen to this. sad that it's become necessary to repeat somethin' that should be ingrained vein deep in all of us
namaste, lady d
epic ink

Thank you so much for your comment, lady! I always appreciate your visits and words and yes... it's sad that this is not our reality... XD (happy to hear you think this is epic :-))

Great poem, great flow.

Thank you very much for your comment, glad to hear you enjoyed it :-)

How did I miss expressing my joy reading this gem? I remember adding to RL instantly when read- then had to leave-. Beautiful work and words indeed Duende!! Wish we had a few more humans of the same thought my friend!! great work indeed!

No problem, dear friend, I had that happening myself as well! Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comment and of course for the reading list add... I truly appreciate you and I'm ever so grateful for your support! You always bring smiles to my page :-)

I always appreciate words like this; nice write

Thank you so much for your comment and welcome to my page!  

I'm glad you appreciate this write, that means a lot to me...

Many people, ironically, add to the sum total of anger and frustration by claiming they are for peace, and they are mad as hell about it. Thank you for peacefully communicating these thoughts. There has been a net gain in world peace by your doing so.

That such an amazing thing to say... thank you very much!  

I really appreciate your continuous support :-)
