This is timely...but why do some get the anesthetic and others of us don't?

#WildWalkPrompt #Moorhen

Moorhen, Moorhen,
don’t let your Royal Navy status
make you a snoot
Moorhen, Moorhen,
you’re still cousin to the old
American Coot

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single coot out on the local pond today, so my photo is only signage.

What could be worse than

Yes...and I think I know what you mean by triage, but can you explain? And why that word?

I'm glad the rock didn't literally speak to you, but kinda wish it did, because then maybe you could teach me their language. Which would also be odd, but SO cool! πŸ—Ώ

I would love to tell you - how long is your attention span for this topic though?

What is it about poets? 😜(Please, do tell me!)

We all have fault lines -
They're where we see
Ways to shift for better
Intentionally
You can be petrified
And together, we'll sing
Fault lines make #stone
A living thing

You can even make ways in many senses!
visual senses
audio senses
stinky senses
tasty senses
touchy-feely senses
virtual senses
physical senses
metaphysical senses
and one of my favourites,
nonsenses!

Thank you so much for this flatmm.

Because, Dave! flatmm says:
"serious silliness is encouraged!"

So I think that means you just need to keep taking your silliness seriously!!!

Hi GoRhyme, could I share this poem with a friend of mine?

Hi Murmer, can I share this with a friend (in-person) who is going through a rough time and this might also resonate with?

Hi April, I'm one of the ones that needed your post. I'm a Canadian from a long, proud ND heritage, so I get everything you describe. And I am so encouraged by you and what you have shared. Thank you for this post in addition to everything else you are doing.

Please DM me if I can support.

Thank you.

It's been really, really hard not hating most people and reality and everything, and I just wanted to escape into silliness, and then Dave was threatening to be serious, and...and... 😭 I AM a poor baby!

#vss365 #advert

I hate that you advert your care
From battles you won’t surely win
What if you would actually dare
To contribute your own skin?

But, in steadiness, you declare
A love for me that is all-in….
Perhaps I should be more aware
Of how much I risk my own passion

Hi Peter, I'm just reviewing poems I have loved. Could I share this piece of yours with some friends of mine?

I love this. It parallels my relatively recent and ongoing conversion to the belief (perhaps transient, but the next "fixed step") that our true selves is in the becoming. It is in the how. But also as part of a living entity of social personhood larger than ourselves.

It didn't start out that way, but yes, a wish of what could have been better for me in an ideal world, and a hope for what still could be in the real one. For myself, the girl I was originally thinking of, and others like us.

Elastic Girl
So colourful and soft
Just a little pressure
And you vibrate
Beautiful and melodious
More pressure
And you whip
Dramatic and loud
Too much pressure
And you might break
Traumatic and

silent

May you be given a place
Without needing to scar
To a dull and hard
Tough Girl

autonomous units, even Tabula Rasa, leading to both self-righteousness and scape-goating.

That's what it stirs in me now, and I'd love to hear what was/is stirring in you when you wrote it.

I had the chance to take in your song this morning.
Initial gut reaction:
Wow. So good. So...resonant.

It speaks to me as a resistance and challenge to the dominant western/global narrative that we live in a just meritocracy, so the successful deserve their reward. That humans are independent,
