Turning dreams into a plan
L. B. Mek said:
adventuring, is a lifestyle
that will suite your poetic spirit brother
I sense a Byronic hero
in the words you share
devoid of tragedy and sadness
just the poetry
in partnership with nature\'s bountiful opportunities
hope it all comes together as you wish it too
I\'ll keep my fingers and toes crossed

Responsibility of domestication
L. B. Mek said:
that great gentle soul, Spinoza
in championing oneness
did so by advocating, temperance
above all else, even
in our utilisation of temperance
itself..!
ergo
the key component in tempering
our actions and living a balanced
life
is by first and most critically, choosing
to take accountability for ourselves
our feeling, our actions and
our responsibilities;
freedom, is a most beautiful ideal
the anchor to that we envision
as being good or innately humane
and yet
that same freedom, often comes
at a most absurd crimson price
why, because there\'s always those
that choose to ignorantly, selfishly
believe, their opinions and assumptions
are more important
than the responsibility thy have
to consider the greater collective!
Discipline
deemed an ugly, restrictive word
when devoid of discipline
all our rights and possibilities
lack validation or worth
just a wild abandonment style
of life, where the consequences
of thoughtless actions
are paid for by others, who choose
to do the right thing..
so yes
all our domesticated pets and animals
are meant to roam free and live
in the wild
so then, why not let them be
why get a pet
and then try give it freedom
better, to take accountability
of our guilt
admitting, that by choosing
to keep a pet
we are choosing ourselves
over that animals preferences
but
in taking accountability for our choice
we are making a promise
to provide our pets
with the very best lives
we can offer them
and so with temperance
as our mindset
we strive to find a balance
from keeping them safe
and keeping those
who interact with them, safe
teaching them, correcting
their aggressive tendencies
and thus allowing them
to experience a life, full of love
and wagging tale happiness..
lying to ourselves
and assuming everyone else
will know
how to interact with a pet
is abandoning the promise
we made to our beloved
companions in life...!

Is your son agoraphobic?

Fear can make us hide .. can’t it , and can hold us back but sometimes we can’t help how we feel .. it’s brave to be with that anxiety / fear and do things anyway
A good writing Dan
Especially like these lines
Those that matter will always say, \"I knew you would get there one of these days.\"
It is so nice to see you out of the comfort cave. Thank you for lighting the way.
That last verse is lovely ))
I think we all need those positive words and others believing in us

Avoid park politics
L. B. Mek said:
dog park\'s or boardrooms
your words ring true my wise friend
\'Never let anyone change your reality unless you want it!\'
indeed
it\'s only ourselves that can allow
someone to affect our reality
what an empowering realisation
thank you!

Is positivity really a thing!
L. B. Mek said:
so true!
feigning positivity is a quick way
to tripping ourselves
better, to let it come naturally
sense its presence
and fight the need to grab at it
let it marinate
and when the time\'s right, we\'ll
sip, a little at a time
every time, making sure there\'s plenty left
for those bleak storm winds of life..
a great right dear Poet
thought provoking indeed

L. B. Mek said:
Depth over distance
legacy of steadfast over shortcuts
our wrong\'s pathing our destinies
hold on, wait
that lonesome, won\'t be around
for too long
although we may be too earnest, it\'s ok
although we may too timid, that\'s fine
although we may be too young at 80, that\'s just us
that\'s life
so hold on, fight strong
let your heart shine bright n bold
those smiles in your life, reward them
with your wings of hope and resolve
depth over distance
lament\'s as our afterthought\'s
exclamations in our eyes, we
survive
deep into those tunnels of life
we\'re still alight with aliveness
knowing, in each step
we imbue everything we have
find meaning, in our potholes
of life
depth over distance
worth over value
we\'ll trail a blaze
for those like minded
who realise
there\'s more to life than taglines
and price points
we\'ll be the ones who recognise
empathy and love
in each breath of life...
testify!
(what a fck\'ng song
grabbed me and shook loose these words
from depths, I hide from myself
thank you! Brother
what an inspirational offering)
i read and learn, wise Poet

(shadows exist because of light
if need be
we traverse those shadows of life
to arrive at our bright destinations;
no rules, no judgement
just shared words, experiences
and truths
positivity, is a corrosive mask
let that better come to you naturally
my wise friend
fck everyone else
your feelings, your opinions
matter most
to those who care for you
genuinely
write your truth, be it
noir dark or a chipper bird song
we\'ll read it all)
that picture
is the very embodiment of life\'s sublime
thank you!
