Balance: . Balance is the goal. Enough. A lesson to be relearned. Materialist, make and use, pitch and forget. Now, the forgotten returns to be remembered. . Lady A .

patriciajj commented on: Overcoming infatuation by humanfruit 2 years 20 weeks ago
An infatuation can be a gift: An infatuation can be a gift or a curse, as you strikingly expressed in this moving heartsong. Though you desire rest, you conclude, in a beautiful, artful way, that resistance is futile. A timeless elegance sweeps through each line, turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.

I can certainly get behind: I can certainly get behind this in theory. I believe, ultimately, the solution to our unsustainable overconsumption and lack of inner contentment is not more solar panels or wind farms, but to live happily with less. But that's easier said than done, and at the end of the day, I'll fight for my Charmin.   But I do like how you open up a dialogue by daring us to at least consider a simpler, saner lifestyle. Many times I've cursed our car culture and wished Henry Ford had been a complete failure. And I have great admiration and fascination for minimalists who can be happy with very little, or even average people who at least make an effort to leave a smaller footprint.    A great discussion piece. Wish more people would see it your way.

Compassion: We seem to go through periods of compassion. In past, UN or WHO peals, "usa, we need more million!" and pre-Afghanistan dollars were on the way. Covid cost us the global supply chain, massive cash outlays, Russia, india's arms package, and adult and kid killings. Differences in opinion and levels of  compassion depend on differences in cultures and nations. Histories differ, needs differ. We are post Trump (oh no, she didn't play the Trumpster card).. Nations that did not arm are fodder now for dictators. Nations never forget slanders and NATO is not for pacifists. We want to kill your youth with votes you will abhor. History lesson: Russia cannot be trusted - they are two faced. Agreements are broken (UK/china over Taiwan.) Take Taiwan and investors move out. Why should China invade Russia when usa can do it for them? And I still need new water pipes and better drainage in Detroit. . Lady A .

Wise words (Love the: Wise words (Love the brackets) they work so well. But if the government has weak protections and loop holes to chorale us then I'm going to say hang on to your hats ans your guns for now. Australia is suffering because of a low population and big government and attacks 9n small business through lobbyists paid for by big business. Its ugly also I. Uk and Canada the 5 eyes. If you ain't got sovereignty over your body you ain't got nothing. A jab for a job is not a choice. It's evil. Anyone who agrees is fascist and must come to terms with it. They are not freedom living because they don't understand how to mitigate their own risks, they want someone else to do it for.them, thus they are easily manipulated and easily programmed. When Money talks truth walks, The zombie thinkers are our downfall and I do not take kindly to such malise.

This is a great poem simple and effective for a variety of reasons.  Enjoy the success! Well done!  Blessingss

SSmoothie commented on: Your opinion of me by SSmoothie 2 years 20 weeks ago
No such thing as old farts : No such thing as old farts  they simply don't hang around too long,  unlike a wonderful favourite perfume so precious always savoured, and you my lovely rose  aren't going anywhere! While it is true all great perfumes have a small amount of cat poop to highlight the fragrance tones it comes together on a symphony of scented beauty. Hugss
