Simpler Times

No Truer words have been spoken. Wonderful writing indeed :)

Yes indeed, dearest Zoey! And thank you very, very much for the sweet comment. I am pleased that you enjoy my writing. :)

Dear Kara:) Miss you tons. Good read and good write as usual.

Become divine; let all creation be our temple.
Let thyself be beautiful, let thyself be strange,
Until at last, nigh is come our perfect destiny!

My fav words.

Thank you also, sweet Grace! Those words are well-chosen to find as favorites, and in but those three lines there is the widest spectrum of freedom imaginable. Freedom to be oneself and freedom also simply to be, and all of it without limitations! But of course, sometimes the most profound of truths can come in precisely such seemingly simple yet infinitely complex lines as these. Love and light to you, my dearest of dear friends! *Smiles* :D

I am once more delighted to hear from you, my sister! Indeed, the human spirit is both as strong as the brightest of stars and as delicate as a feather adrift in the winds of the universe. We are either made greater or broken entirely by our experiences both in this world and beyond, and all of it that we take with us and harbor inside of us, all of which adds to the totality of all that we are. But never does it limit all that we can be! And even the most broken of souls (I've been there myself) can find new strength and soar to far greater heights than previously thought of. But always, along such journeys we do need to pay attention to the beauty and glory all around us... and the simplest of beauties and glories are sometimes the most profound in the effect that they have on us. The rays of the sun through the forest trees, finding shapes in the clouds on a peaceful day, and loving how light can form rainbows after the rain with a promise of more beautiful colors to come... all of that is important beyond words. And yet, in finding the words to describe such things, we create more beauty thereby! Love and light to you, my sister and friend. :)

I was thinking about you today. Hope you're doing ok. I absolutely love this. I am definitely lost in nostalgia and aching for simpler times. You are definitely one of the masters of DUP. Have a great week.

Hello there, Toni! The past couple of years have been quite crazy for me... a lot of changes in my life, and a lot of new inspirations as well. I wish I had previously the chance to get back on Deep Underground again sooner, but so much kept coming up. At the moment, however, all has become quite stable and calm in my life once more so I finally have the time to post some new poetry and to check back with my older works. Speaking of which, the first thing I noticed was your lovely post here, which I am happy to at last have to opportunity to reply to. Your praise of my works is very well received, my friend! I know what you mean about nostalgia... I've actually, this past month, been thinking about a lot of things that have been making me feel quite nostalgic indeed. A few from this life, and some from lives past. But whatever the source, it can be quite magical and most welcome, such experiences! Be well, dear Toni... and thank you again for the lovely comment. *Smiles* :)

beautifully done

Thank you very, very much Alex! It is always most welcome to hear from you. I am quite pleased indeed, that you continue to enjoy my poetry. :D
