Thanks kindly, that makes me: Thanks kindly, that makes me glad to hear; short of a time machine and teleportation device, poetry is the most accessible thing at the moment.
Of the government and it's: Of the government and it's ruling class, always take at least as much, if not more, than you provide. Emotionally, economically, etc.
Of the family, friends, community around you and struggling people of the world, always give more than you take. Emotionally, economically, etc..
This is how we rebalance an imbalanced world.

There once was a man..: There once was a man named Gus
Who'd always make a fuss
Never said 'Hiyah, Bird!'
That would be absurd
As Snuffalopagus? No, as Enough? Ha! Can't top Gus!
Thanks for posting!
Thank you: Starward, thank you. It really does mean so much. Please find the same message of appreciation in my response to patriciajj. I do apologise for being absent recently.
Completely understood: Hi Patriciajj,
Thank you so much for your exceptionally well crafted and poignant response that I am not sure I am worthy of. No need to apologise, I hadn't seen you around here or on AP for so long, so I naturally started to worry.
I completely understand how incredibly busy, messy and complicated life can be. I have been having a similar time of it at them moment and signs are that it appears only to get more hectic for the remainder of the year. That being said, it’s great to hear from you and whilst you owe me nothing, I’m thrilled that you are well.
I feel blessed that you found the structure and symmetry engaging—it’s such a joy to explore those intersections between science and spirit - perhaps more so after a poetry publication tells you they are no good. I mean, I can do that anywhere and at any time!
Your feedback, I admire, was expertly timed, and I also confess I was so moved by it that it has taken me a while to try to convey my appreciation in a manner befitting. So, I have taken the plunge this evening to thank you and how happy I was that you enjoyed the cadence and theme. It’s always rewarding when someone connects with the deeper layers of one’s work. I truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and I’m delighted to hear that it provided you and Starward with such an immersive experience. I left some comments for you on AP, and whilst I may not be here as regularly as I’d like, I look forward to more of our exchanges when things settle down for us both.
