Unknot the not

Powerful, my friend! Amen. I was just saying that to someone...I don\'t write poetry just for myself. It starts there, of course, but it merely starts there. This applies for all potential...and what a tragedy when one\'s potential is not met. Well done. Urgent message. A fave from me. 🌹👏

I\'m intrigued by your title! Unknot the not!
OMG, this one had me thinking, well done, the word you used in your title has so many different meanings and can be used many different ways, well done, lesson learned for me today, how the words we use can precipitate conflict with others. Your poem\'s purpose is to ignite profound reflection on the significance of our actions and experiences, inspiring the reader to embrace and live life to the fullest. It serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative importance of expression and connection in illuminating life\'s intangible aspects. You also illuminate the profound value of experiences and actions that are not realized or expressed, revealing that beauty, joy, power, and kindness radiate their greatest significance when shared, acknowledged, and deeply felt.

Science in a Nazarene\'s hair
Doggerel Dave said:
Your ‘just a poem’ has provoked many detailed and complex responses, Soren. Raises the question: what purpose has ‘just a poem’? I’m not going there – this was just a comment.
My simple mind sees it quite…. simply. Religion and Science try to answer two different questions: Religions asks ‘why’? (and in my view haven’t found the answer yet, but seem very satisfied with their conclusions), while Science continually attempts to answer the question ‘how’ and is never satisfied, realizing the depths of our ignorance and the existence of multiple unknowns.
Finally, there is no need for the \'why\' and \'how\' to ever collide, they should be on two different pathways.

Too much
rrodriguez said:
Soren, your poem, \'Too Much,\' is indeed the lot we all share. But life is beautiful, and there\'s much more for us to experience. I\'ve enjoyed your poem and reflected on it. Life is indeed, at times, \"too much\" to bear.

Weeping
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This speaks of grief and uses what I imagined to be a Weeping Willow Tree as its metaphor. Powerful and true. Grief overrun, unchecked, can shade out any chance of life or growth, leading to decay. As I see it, psychological decay, physiological decay, and spiritual decay. On needs to find balance to have the ability to move from shade to light. Well done, my friend! A fave. 🖤🌹

Sad but beautiful. This is the cycle of life and it\'s beautiful in every way. Happiness, sadness, pain, life, death and decay. We just need to understand it.

Well done,Soren,Your poem explores themes of loss, grief, and the passage of time through the metaphor of a tree, conveying profound emotional pain and mourning. The tree serves as a symbol of resilience in the face of sorrow and the inevitability of decay accompanying loss. The tree symbolizes the human heart and emotions, articulating the experience of grief and loss. This poem appears to be written from the perspective of a speaker who identifies with the tree, sharing its emotional journey. Your poem endeavors to capture the universal experience of grief and the impact of loss on one\'s emotional state, inviting the reader to reflect on their own experiences with sorrow and the passage of time.

Science in a Nazarene\'s hair
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow! Profound, my friend. In this I see a wisdom often absent from most discussions on science and religion, often treated as if one is familiar and superior and the other foreign and primitive. Any who are classically trained, however, understand that theology, just like biology or physiology, is one of many schools of science. It is only until more recently that we\'ve limited the word science to mean \"the natural sciences\". Still, all of the sciences, while unique and distinct, do intersect at points and places. And each has their place and wisdom to impart. Even \"dead\" religions and theologies have much to teach us about ourselves, if nothing else. No science, therefore, is foreign to the other, no matter how much it may seem so. In essence, there\'s science in religion and religion in science, both roads lead to deeper human understanding, if harnessed by the right people in the right ways. If not...well, we\'ve all seen the consequences of that both in science and religion. Anywho, this poem has teeth and they really tear through many myths. It doesn\'t take a side, it just presents the view. I love it. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

I read several of your poems.
Words are chosen and set like artisans decorate their clay pots. With patience and oassion.
I like descriptions of the nature.
Someone who observe the nature with passion can send a message to readers and place the moment of nature play into their minds.
That is a gift
Thanks for sharing your poems and thank you for the comments you give on my poems.

Science in a Nazarene\'s hair
Friendship said:
A Nazarene generally regards science as a valid means of understanding God\'s creation, believing that science and faith can coexist, which typically involves embracing theistic evolution and viewing science as a tool to comprehend God\'s creation, while maintaining a strong emphasis on faith and holiness. In the Old Testament, a Nazirite is an individual who undertakes a vow to consecrate themselves to God, involving abstention from certain practices, including cutting their hair for a predetermined period. They are permitted to groom their hair with their fingers or scratch their head, but are prohibited from using a comb or chemical depilatories, which may pull out or damage hair. Your poem explores the relationship between knowledge, science, and belief, contrasting the unkempt nature of true wisdom with the often conformist tendencies of societal beliefs. It suggests that embracing both scientific inquiry and spiritual understanding can lead to a more holistic view of truth. You address the tension between rigid belief systems and the fluidity of knowledge, using the metaphor of hair to symbolize the complexity of thought and existence. It invites the reader to appreciate the natural, sometimes chaotic, beauty of both science and spirituality.
