Oh, I love this! Beautiful imagery! It took me to the water and swimming with dolphins! Though I have only touched the ocean a few times in my life, I have a connection to it in my heart bond with dolphins, such precious beings. WE so need to care for this spinning orb! The future feet that walk upon it should be as fortune as we to know its wonder and beauty! My heart skipped a beat when you mentioned offering your scarves here!! Whether you do that in this space or not, I hope to be able to purchase one! I did go to your other site! You do beautiful work! How can someone place an order? Many blessings ~Wendy

So glad this poem resonated with you.

I am thinking about adding my silks for sale on my website - maybe a special hidden page for my Substack readers. Been shifting into writing why not there now. At least I put up some examples 😊

β€œOur words make a difference.” Indeed, they do!!!

Beautiful poemβ€”the ocean, adjacent to the blue and the green, is one of my holy places. You captured it well.

🌊Thank you so much, I am working on another poem I might read instead. It is coming off the idea of consistency & noticing the beauty around us per our last comments on your recent share.

I so enjoy how ideas build on one another and the inspiration that comes from conversations and observations.

I will look forward to reading that one as well! We help make each other, right? Ubuntu! I am because you are.

One of my favorite quotes: β€œAll we’re really doing is helping each other along.”

I love the concept of Ubuntu! I first heard of it following The Poet’s Tree during lockdown 😊
