Musings On \"Being\"
Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Bella,
Of greed, love and life - there something very oriental about this poem, something a Taoist priest might offer. The beauty of simplicity composed in three perceptive verses - to feed, to drink and to live. Excellent!
Fond regards,
Tony.

Yes, three conundrums for your consideration, like horse pills to swallow, where maybe in eternity we\'ll finally understand? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy.

Modern poetic philosophy and psychology all condensed into a beautifully written observation on the difference between perception and reality as well as dealing with the notion of the psyche and how we process it all as human beings . You are extremely intelligent and thoughtful Bella! It is a pleasure to read your work. Sincerely, Elizabeth

Hello, Bella,
Where the psychological meets the philosophical at the crossroads of the psyche and that everyday question in the reality of the moment; which road to take, be it minute or grand in the journey of life. This is a splendidly composed verse, intelligent, insightful and intricate, and your poetic expression is most admirable. It\'s a perfect unpunctuated, unadulterated gem.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

Your poem is an exploration of human perception and the intricate relationship between reality, the mind, and the psyche. The poem suggests that reality is subjective, experienced through individual perception, and emphasizes that understanding oneself is a lifelong journey.

A very thoughtful and reflective piece, Bella. The inward turn toward perception and psyche gives it depth, and that final line...fro real! Truly, an excellent job, my dear friend. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A lovely write of the complexities of our long journey, how we see or not see things, how we interpret sometimes wrongly, and the consequences of our actions we rightly or wrongly decide to take, enjoyed the read

Deeply psychological this poem begins with sensation, perception, interpretation, to reaction. mistaken perception, misunderstood may lead to unexpected reactions and such chaos is difficult to comprehend from the outside. People and their actions so difficult to predict a life long effort and still not even close. A lovely write Bella and a fave

Bella, there’s real clarity in this poem. No overreach, no extras... just truth laid down. That final line doesn’t blink..the \"will\" in that line hits as it should: with certainty. Beautifully powerful in its brevity and impact. 🌹👏 A fave, my friend.
