We should always move forward in life Rik, going back can be so disheartening.

I like the way you are traveling looking backwards as a Metaphor for the Past .
Like the Picture. But is that an Angel on the Platform?

Cryptic I had to read this three times for it to sink in. So set in forward motion it is hard to travel backward knowingly yet we do it all the time unknowingly. Each read produced more emotions from the past for this alone it gets a fave. Yet there is more I was struck by the last passage where everything goes contrary and backwards a clue to the rest of the poem. How often do we search for answers in the past only to return to the present. Well done my friend

I see that train a coming down the lonesome track always moving forwards never going back.
Sometimes you just have to move on and never look back.

Arqios, this is lovely. “A morning of thinking slowly” feels like something many of us have forgotten how to do. The whole piece carries a gentle, meditative calm. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I really love the sight of dabbled Sunlight through the branches of a tree. Even when described in a Novel. Paints a fine picture.
A Simple effect but so Wonderful.
Your Notes were of great interest too.
Thanks.

My 26y old old Son is cycling solo around Japan as the moment. Even though ( I am told) he identifies as an atheist, the steep terrain and long hours seem to have invoked \"sugyo\" in him! Now he doesn\'t know what comes next.

Beautiful! I have seen it so many times in the forest and felt it too bad poetically where less is often more that we don\'t have a single word in English for this

Arqios, this is delicate and quietly intimate...a whisper someone leaves behind in place of a declaration. There’s a softness to the longing here that makes the brevity work beautifully. Lovely piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Arqios, this feels deeply peaceful to me...not passive peace, but earned peace. The kind built slowly through patience, craft, and listening to the world instead of rushing through it. There’s real wisdom resting quietly inside this piece. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a quiet dignity in this—no chasing, no shouting, just a man letting his work speak and the road answer back.
Feels like he found something better than success up there… a steady life that doesn’t need proving.
