Dear Dan,

‘bass is my religion and its here to stay!’

Getting in gear with your bass to make you bounce back from your deflated state is extremely worthy of your efforts.

‘To lose all thoughts and find blissful connections between the waves’
‘Building right backup just to wait for the drop again’

If that ‘drop’ should happen…again…, you know very well how to build it ‘rightback up’ …again!

You are a survivor!

Emotive words Dan but that bass will highlight your life and bring you back to the new place that you have found over recent times.

I agree with Laura ... it’s uplifting !

Maybe when were sad we should start singing , about to drift off to sleep and we could think of something really nice ... or try

Dan,

I’ve enjoyed this great poem of yours. I especially liked…
‘What happens next is up to you, just close your eyes and hum a tune.....’
…and that’s exactly what I’m planning to do—close my ‘eyes and hum a tune’!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful words…very uplifting and inspirational.

Laura🌻

P.S.-I would like to wish you and your precious daughter a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The second line throws me completely, or is there a typo in there?
Yep, my experience of literally being on stage was initially a bit of fright, followed by an act i polished and finally, just letting myself be me. But life is a stage. You, yes you Dan, choose just how you want the world to see you and there are loads of choices. Here\'s a couple. A working person content to be a part of a family unit nuturing a young child and enjoying their work. Or. All of the above but with a chip on his shoulder that he\'s reluctant to cast off for fear of becoming a nobody... which is clearly something he definitely shouldn\'t have to fear.

We\'re here because we\'re here, Dan - there\'s not much more we can know.

I feel that is the essence of your poem, Dan - do correct me if you feel I\'m wrong.

Keeping that love is so important Dan, we all have days where we slip into a form of misery but with love in our hearts it makes it easier to come out into happiness.

dusk arising said:

Know what mate, reading your piece today has just made me realise something about myself for the first time.
I\'ve realised why i am a happy and positive person. It\'s not that i dont have negative crap and background, i left home at 15 yrs old, am currently fighting with cancer, have a handicapped daughter, and i\'ve become physically disabled. But b*llocks to all that (and dont for one moment think this is a trawl for sympathy - b*llocks to that). I\'d rather not dwell on any of that when it\'s so easy to think about, or to do stuff which gives me pleasure.
EASY = Nice thoughts and doing nice stuff.
HARD = thinking about things which get me down and depressed.

Thanks mate you made me realise that today.
But why do you think about hard stuff when theres easy stuff to do and think about..... answers on a postcard to Dusky\'s Problem Page

Caring dove said:

This shows you care ... Dan .. even as you feel sad and unhappy you still want to help others ... that’s how I read the words in your poem ‘ helping where I can and truly trying to keep the love ‘

I understand it’s frustrating when we can’t help others ... but I guess we try and if we can’t then it’s not our fault

Such warmth and care within your words

Yes sometimes we have to \"let it be\" and give misery central stage for a while Dan - -- good points on what makes folk try to keep the positive afloat even when feeling like a \"ghost in the shell\"

L. B. Mek said:

such an uplifting perspective, I think your picture mirrors your words metaphorically:
we may all be mere pebbles, in the face of a sea of circumstance and consequence
but our marking lines, can add so much depth to our beauty, and experience of life...
thanks for sharing, there\'s such an honesty to your words, my friend
