WHATEVER IT TAKES, MY FRIEND...LOOKING GREAT THERE! AND I ABSOLUTELY 'LOVE' THE STAFF. A POET...IS A POET...IS A POET, INDEED...FABULOUS SHARE, THANKS! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
I spent too many years unable to walk without great difficulty. Beginning the very day of my hip replacement I started moving. In fact, in rehab the therapists were constantly fussing at me for "trying to do three times as much twice as fast." But I was motivated and nothing was going to slow me down!
This poem beautifully captures the journey of self-discipline and reflection. The balance between physical endurance and the emotional resonance of solitude creates a meditative tone, allowing the reader to connect with the deeper themes of resilience and self-discovery. The imagery of navigating darkness and embracing isolation is powerful, while the mention of the staff as a symbolic gift adds a poignant, personal touch. Overall, it’s an uplifting and introspective piece that highlights the healing power of both exercise and quiet contemplation. Great to read you after a long hiatus!
Write on, Regis!! I have started a regular exercise routine, and I feel so much better mentally and physically. Your words and you are an inspiration, my dear friend!!
And I was worried because you hadn't posted! Now I know why, you had a very good reason.
I too, value solitude and exercise. But when my exercise machine's motor gave out back in June and I couldn't get it fixed, I worried. Fortunately, I'm finding that I'm not experiencing any more muscle spasms than I did before and actually sleeping better as time goes along and I age, needing more sleep.
Let me envy you and your solitary journey throughout your kingdom. Wish I was walking with you so you could point out all the fauna and flora you know to me.
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.
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
