Scent of the past
MDStone said:
Soren,
Made me think about past experiences, good times, good people, good memories. But also awakened me to my lack of anticipation for what is to come. New scents bring new experiences. Thank you dear poet for providing an aroma of reflection.

Love the font, which really works well for this poem, as well as your use of Bennu, the Ravens, Elijah, the Manna...all of it brilliantly woven into deep, philosophical, metaphor. Well done, Soren! 🌹👏

Well done, Soren, and an intensified poem. Yet it had me thinking; excellent job.
Your allusions to the Bennu bird, the Greek Phoenix, the prophet Elijah, epiphytes, and manna are noteworthy. Each of these elements is intricately linked to motifs of creation, survival, and the mystical interplay between the divine and the natural world. Your poem is structured as an extended metaphor, deftly connecting mythological and religious symbols to broader themes of existence, sustenance, and the divine. Furthermore, your poem explores the theme of resilience and the emergence of beauty in harsh environments. It posits that life and beauty can flourish even in the most inhospitable environments, as exemplified by the orchid growing on hard rock. It appears that you aim to inspire readers to discover beauty and strength in their own struggles, emphasizing the notion that even in adversity, life can thrive through divine support and resilience.

Soren,
Love the font. It matches the message that blooms in this poem. Hope thriving even when the surroundings say it shouldn’t be so, beauty in the hard places. Thank you for sharing and for the educational piece as well. Loved it!

It\'s difficult because what\'s right and what\'s wrong? What justifies the means to justify the ends? I often hear the saying along the lines of \"whoever abandoned you in the ocean has no right to know what the sharks did to you or what you had to do to get to the shore\" which makes sense, until you think what was done is worse than what happened. These kinds of moral questions make me think I could be a good philosopher.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Indeed. How much difference rattles our bones...and yet, how different are we? In one sense, vastly different. There are entire universes with in people, perhaps multiverses. Yet, in another way, not very different at all. Sometimes we find ourselves having to comply, but I determined a long time ago that I will never conform. I am who I am. Wonderful write, Soren. This one hit home! 🌹👏

I was intrigued by the title; once again, your poem undertakes a compelling examination of conformity, individuality, and societal norms, prompting a profound analysis of the concept of \'sanity\' as defined by collective societal agreement. It sheds light on how individuals who bravely diverge from the norm are frequently marginalized or labeled as \'insane,\' yet, in doing so, exposes the transformative tension between individuality and societal expectations. This thought-provoking subject matter underscores how embracing our differences can yield both liberating freedom and a sense of alienation, urging us to reassess our understanding of what it means to be \'sane.\'

In all “reality” there is but one race, the Human Race. If we would only learn to love the human, the rest would fall in to place. Nicely done, Soren. Thanks for sharing.
