Thank you very much.  Far too: Thank you very much.  Far too often, I find myself to be disturbed water, storm tossed water, and that's why I take great comfort in Christ's words in Apostle Mark's Gospel, "Peace, be still."

Starward commented on: Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; Goliath's Contemplation Near Ephes Dammim, 2 by Seryddwr 1 year 44 weeks ago
I had forgotten about Saul's: I had forgotten about Saul's stature, and I thank you for reminding me of that.  And yes, he sent a militarily inexperienced adolescent to fight the battle, and I think Goliath and Saul were sharply surprised by the day's events.  And you are right about the many Goliaths that surround us.

There's so much depth in this: There's so much depth in this delicate, pocket-sized parable. It speaks of unshakable dignity, tenacity and the ability to see our worth even after being broken. In fact, you powerfully imply that the devastation created even more value. A highly evolved and inspiring analogy.

patriciajj commented on: a robot wrote this, it wasn't really me by Jesster 1 year 44 weeks ago
This is amazing. And: This is amazing. And disconcerting. First, AI perfects art and now poetry? Actually, the small flaws, the quirks and surprises in human writing make it more enjoyable, so Tap has nothing on humans.   It's impressive that you were able to pick up on clues that Tap wasn't all that he appeared to be. You outsmarted the smart poet. Fascinating post.

There's an awe-inspiring: There's an awe-inspiring sense of triumph and ascension in this highly symbolic and intriguing work of art. I read it three times because I loved the poetic gymnastics and the surreal brilliance of it. Amazing!

Short concise lines, and a: Short concise lines, and a compact length:  and yet, you have summarized as profoundly as, say, Plato, the philosophy of resilience---of which many of us (and some of us who have been bullied for embracing our natures) have, or will acquire, a deep knowledge.  This is a brave poem to post, and it will encourage others most certainly!

An interesting mediational: An interesting mediational note! In the panic and desperation Saul puts all upon the the little shepherd boy, Saul being a head taller than the Israelites. And David was more defender than offensive warrior. An apt image in the situation. And of Goliath's thoughts. Well, we live in a world of Goliaths, demi-Goliaths and wannabe Goliaths.

The reflection of others on: The reflection of others on the waters of our existence is quite a journal of depth and interest. This is quite an entrancing concept more so when these others fill in their presence with intentionality or relational consummation rather than toxic consumption.

Thanks for obliging the: Thanks for obliging the somewhat angstsy and darkish tone of this pragmatically pessimistic expression.

Your having highlighted those: Your having highlighted those lines demonstrates the core fear being expressed- that inextricable feeling of helplessness in the path of a fast forming snowballing avalanche that swallows everything in its trajectory. Thank you for your kindness on this poem, its communication is returning full circle.
