Afterward: Proverbs [ NaPoWriMo 2019 Collection ] 30/30

Such a profound work of Art A, you really went above and beyond with the contest, congratulations.

Thank you so much, Tim.  We couldn't have done it without you being a part of the team.  [/truth]

Here's to 20/20!  Hope you're on board with us!

Day Thirty

You wrapped up this epic poem and labor of Love so amazingly on target.

To treat life as a game that necessitates strategy for personal gain will leave one a loser never gaining what is really important:

learning from your own mistakes by approaching challenges at different angles, rather than repeating the same behaviors that get you nowhere on the board;

exploring all the branches of the tree you could be.

I Loved being challenged every day in reading this.

And I Love You. 💜💑💋

Your support was the foundation of my ability to carry on. I certainly couldn't have done it without you. So thank you for your musery, your inspiration, and your Love.

I Love You. 💜💑💋

30 no-word-repeat poems - that was some target you set yourself, Ahavati. Parabens many time over. It was great to read my way through the month with you.  :))

Thank you so much for your encouragement and support, Josh. There's a bit of an issue getting the entire thing together in one post - something about spaces, but the Webmiss is working on it.

It was an honor sailing with you again this year! On to 20/20!

Hi, Timagination.  Sorry it took me a bit to reply to you, but I really wanted to think over your response.

While many don't believe in God, everybody believes in something; even believing in nothing is believing in something, ergo my use of 'deity' vs. God.  What you believe in becomes your deity.

Revenge is a weapon of choice because hurt people hurt people thinking it will make them feel better - but it doesn't.  Then there's the reaction of those being hurt hurting back and the cycle becomes endless.  Fear is definitely the underlying cause of any negative emotion; and, conversely, Love fuels positive ones.  

People find fault mostly because they need someone or thing to blame rather than accept responsibility of their own choices. And in the case of non choice, they find blame to channel their negative emotions because, at the time, they're unable to accept the situation.

While I agree that Christianity is being attacked, other religions are being attacked as well.  Those involved are afraid everyone else's religion will become the dominant religion and they can't allow that to happen.  'Afraid' being the operative word there.

Universal law returns what a person emits - positive or negative - there's no getting around that one. So be careful what you wish for in regards to seeing who you perceive as your enemy's fate.  For it may become your own.

I know many miserable people who have become perpetual victims of their own desires toward others they wish to control, but can't.

Thank you for your comment.

This is a real "thinking" poem A...fear is the worst karmic emotion and at the moment it is everywhere.
Cheers...Harry

I was taught everything we do stems from one of two sources alone: Love or Fear. The older I get, the more I believe the truth of this, Harry.  

Thank you.

I agree A...Nietzsche said that fear is the mother of all morality...in today's world everyone is using it to find power lol.

Oh yeah . . .on all  levels.

AW...my Wise one...it always pierces deep..the verses of Wisdom & the spiritual depths I ever imbibe upon in your verses of wisdom's pearlescence & streaming in light -always have a clarifying tranquility amidst whatever chaos am in..when I read your timeless poems-that would be treasured soulfully dever..  
 
I love how you essentially zeroed upon -THe Two Emotions (in Polarities) - Love & Fear - Former the Truth that is so uncontainably unconditional as a Bird in Flight in Faith..The latter the Shadowy Shadows slaving self deeply & so ever deep in its black necrosis - of insecurity & even to the insanity extent of being inhumane & losing -the truth & love -itself . Totally Adoring this!    
   
Esp. loved the Quoted part finally...  
   
"Therein lies the difference       
between those who prayed       
for their enemies' happiness     
     
and those who spitefully       
cursed them"  
   
 Something struck so magically when i saw the wordlimit 136...its the number that holds a personal significace to me....& it is such falling in line -with the Sync we always & forever -would have dear wise One!    
   
Will be reading you & my loved ones in DU -my poetic abode ever...in silence or distance or watever, you know!    
   
Light Love & Peace my Dear Wise One---keep up the Deep's  Lighted Torch in your Poetic Spiritual & Wise Essence ever.  Uma xx

Thank you so much, Uma.  I truly appreciate your soul-words, and wish you and Rob all the best life has to offer in regards to love and happiness. You both deserve it so much.

It's a comfort to know you will still pop in and be watching over all of us from time to time.  You're a DUP icon - and there will always be a place here for you.

Love, Light, Peace, and Friendship always

Ahavati

Profound.

Thank you, Lozzamus.
