Many of my spills of inspiration and or bright thinking have come about the way Yours have

You have a better memory than me and i am in awe of Your recollection.

Sweet and beautiful Tallen :heart: I know we have similar experiences and ended up in similar outlook on life and purpose. Thank you for your read and your comment. It is so wonderful to see that you're still here <3

molon_labe, thank you so much for this heartfelt comment. I, just like you, didn't listen so well either to lovers. In particular one, who tried endlessly to have me understand, that the reason I felt that he didn't love me, wasn't because he didn't love me, but instead that I was unable to receive it, holding myself unworthy of it <3 And he was right.

Healing brought me places, self-love rejuvenated and realigned my senses. I shattered and rebuild, as we all have to do, when becoming who we are <3 You will Know it, if you don't already. Fundamentally, you are always worth it, first and foremost from yourself <3

I simply adore this great poem of yours! Love is indeed the great Tree of Light that holds all things in creation together, it flows through all things and along with passion allows us to reach far greater heights than we can possibly imagine. Part of this reminds me of the legend of the World Tree, and how every world, every reality can be reached through its' many branches. And that is but one aspect of this poem's profoundness! It is also very down to earth, as well as cosmic. I see in its' verses the story of someone rising from the ashes of defeat in life, to achieve a greater personal victory than ever before, and I find that to be something which resonates with me quite personally.  The line that you wrote which reads: "I found Passion - the fundamental puzzle piece of the game.", that holds a tremendous degree of truth and significance for me. In discovering the truest depths and heights of one's inner passion, one can achieve all that they might set out to do should they put their heart to it, as much as their mind. For myself, I tend to always follow my heart in life more than my head, but I try to let wisdom guide me even when intellect fails. Again, you have written a truly great poetic work here, filled with so much more than is apparent at first glance! Magical stuff. :D

Kou_Indigo, Kara; Thank you for so sweetly and truly make my morning even better! You read my nuances so well, I'm happy that the feel between the lines come through. Life for me is layered with multiple understandings and influences, coming through in frequencies and vibrations, all angles at once. [smiles] I love being alive; even when it's hard, even when it's dark; and once I found that I can both survive, overcome, and do better... What is there that can really stop me? And that answer is simply.. Me.
I need to take responsibility for every word and every action, because once you understand your impact around you, how can you not change to deliver it with Kindness? How can you not show up with Authenticity, and Vulnerability? How can you not Love?
Passion was - without a doubt - the most important piece of them all, but you don't know it, until you find it; and once you Find (truly happens after the Tower's fall), nothing will ever be the same. And I hope to be able to inspire by showing up, motivate by being around, empower by interacting. I want to be Love and give Love that can felt in peoples chests, that it may manifest an understanding, that we're all gods in denial, or gods in deep sleep, if you will; and awakement happens, when Love enters. ❤️
I wish you the most loveable of days 🌷

Dear, loving and wise Skye... you speak such words of truth even in your reply to me, that resonate within my spirit! It is indeed true, the only thing truly holding people back from becoming their all, is themselves. We are, many of us, indeed divinities in denial... or in a kind of sleep that must be awakened from in order to regain what was lost. I used to think that I was the only one who realized this (for I saw it within my own self a very long time ago, and thought it made me an outsider). But your words show me that I am not the only one like unto me... and that is a great thing to realize. While some might view us as outsiders, that is only because they have fallen so far from what truly is inside of us all. I would rather be an outsider in the way that we are, than be inside of the confines of limited thinking. Love is definitely the catalyst for true awakening! It was through someone I loved dearly (in multiple lives) that I came to my own full spiritual awakening in life, back when I was sixteen years old, and even when they had passed from this world their love for me remained a part of me, and a part of them is with me always. Indeed, once passion leads the way nothing ever is quite the same in life. I wrote a poem called "Passion’s Promise" that you might like to read... it is on my list of all my works here on Deep Underground Poetry. It has a lot of my own philosophical musings regarding the importance of passion to me. Some incorrectly think that being passionate makes a person flawed, but it does not! The key to all things is passion... and the force that makes all things possible is love, driven by passion's fire. It seems we are somewhat kindred spirits after all, gentle Skye! Love and Light be with you. :D
