JOHN, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, I TAKE POETRY REVIEWS SERIOUSLY. SO THEN, YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THE STEPS IT TOOK ME TO COME TO THIS CONCLUSION. SHOWS YOU HOW WE GET COMPLETELY OFF TRACK SOMETIMES. I HAD WRITTEN A LONG REVIEW...WHICH I MISTAKENLY ERASED, BUT I HAD COPIED IT(SMILE). SO, I POSTED IT AGAIN AND IT WAS WHILE SUMMING IT UP, THAT GOD REMINDED ME OF HIS ANSWER TO MOSES, WHO HAD INQUIRED AS TO WHO HE WAS..."I AM, WHO I AM"....IS WHAT GOD REPLIED. MEANING THAT HE ENCOMPASSED 'ALL', FOR HE IS 'EXACTLY'... 'E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G'! NOT ANY MORE, NOT ANY LESS. IN THAT MOMENT, I SAW MYSELF...LOOKING CANDIDLY AT THE PERSON IN THE MIRROR. WHO AM I, EXACTLY? MY LIFE, MY LIVING...WHO AM I??? THE ANSWER? NOT ANY MORE, NOT ANY LESS...I AM A CHILD OF GOD, A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE...AMEN. TOTALLY ENJOYED AND APPRECIATED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
More food for thought that some of us thrive on. I find it interesting that so much of poetry that's posted isn't about anything worth contemplating. Thank you for holding to your conviction of writing about many subjects that need reading and consideration for improving our lives with serious points of view.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
Very clever and meaningful at the same time.
