Conditions in the sky
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Ahhhh AVIGAIL : Clouds are so so evocative especially @ Sunrise & Sunset ! I (ANGELA) am in New Zealand at present and the MAORI NAME is Land of the Long White Cloud due to the Lenticular Clouds that form on the Mountains. Clouds tell us so much about the Weather in the Atmosphere Cirrus for Wind & Nimbus for Rain etc. I love to look for shapes in the Clouds : People & Animals : Castles & Cities and one can easily perceive them as being inhabited by the SPIRITS. Love your Poem and the concept that Spirits inhabit our dimension in the Atmosphere in the Clouds and not on the earth\'s surface : AMEN Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Please check our PANTOUM ~ Thanks

Life is the game of awareness
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks PROFESSOR AVIGAIL ~ You have highlighted the two most important factors in our potential & development !
1. NATURE The traits and abilities we inherit in our parental DNA. We cannot choose our Parents but normally they rear us and understand us because in many respects we mirror them ! I am pleased I was raised by my BIRTH (GENETIC) PARENTS who are still living and @ 35 still raising me !
2. NURTURE ~ The ENVIRONMENT in which we are are raised ~ Rural or Urban ~ Opportunities for Education - Sport - Art - Music etc. I was fortunate to be born in a City ~ into a Christian Family ~ to have access and the Arts and attend good Schools & Universities etc. I have a LIFE EXPECTANCY of 85 ! What we are is GOD\'s (and our Parents) gift to US ~ What we do with our lives is our gift back to GOD (and our Parents) NATURE & NURTURE ! Thanks for guiding us into TRUTH ! Love & Hugs your Students BRIAN 😎 and ANGELA 🧡 Please check ANGELAS POEM ~ ID RATHER HAVE JESUS ~ THANKS B & A

in between
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks AVI for (as usual) a THOUGHT PROVOKING Ode. I adore Rainbows ~especially because they are ephemeral. Here TODAY and inevitably (unless they are on a waterfall) gone TOMORROW ! They are the essence of INBETWEENESS ~ between the SUNSHINE & the SHOWER ! It is a good analogy for anthropological INBETWEENS ! Between JOBS ~ Between Relationships ~ Between Moods ~ Between Clubs ~ Between Diets ~ Between Locations ~ Between A ROCK and A HARD PLACE (double negative) and Between The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea ! There is good ODE in all that somewhere ! Thanks for SHARING ! Love & Big Hugs as always BRIAN & ANGELA XOX Please check our POEMS & Fusion on ICE CREAM ~ Thanks B & A XOX

why
dusk arising said:

Some questions haunt us, popping into mind at random but why? Do others share this? Is my mind aware of something my conscious brain is not.
It\'s all there in this deep, thought provoking watershed of yours.

You certainly had me taking time to contemplate your questions, all to real.

Your first two lines really entertain me and temp me. They\'re inspiring me to write.

Insane moments
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks for sharing AVI ~ I can empathise ! We all have MAD moments and survive ! But MANIACAL moments are rare and destructive ! Like a VOLCANO we have to conserve our LAVA flows and don\'t let them burst out and destroy us ! My BROTHER lived in Puebla MX and I loved to watch POPO especially at night ~ but when it went MANIACAL many died due to POPO\'S suicide ~ and \"successful suicide\" is an Irreversible Action ! My own MIND is fairly stable ~ BUT ~ I never take it for granted ! Thanks for warning ~ Hugs & Kisses ~ BRIAN XOX

What are we doing here?
Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose) said:

we are here to live but i think for those of us who struggle and hurt, quite a lot, i think they cannot help but question , why a, i here, am i here to suffer? why was ai born // to hurt? i think asking these type of questions are perfectly normal at times..

This is a good one, Avigail! We do have to come to terms with ourselves first and foremost. And how we feel about ourselves influences how we feel about others. Good write!
