Just finished your piece, and man, K1, you got some deep sharing and some big talent! You've got a lot on your mind -you mentioned the Buddha, and Jesus, and closed with a quote from Thich Nhat Hahn (Thay) so I'm weaving together the pieces of you.
Your poetry is so profoundly provoking that I would need to write you back a 5-paragraph essay to share everything that came up for me, but for now I'll say a few short things I gathered from your pub :
-you open up convo about toxic masculinity and how a man doesn't have to follow society's mainstream script and can choose their path. Kudos to that! We need more men holding the space of divine masculinity for our young men and boys, and also for us women.
-it sounds to me that though you don't know how to 'fix' anyone, you are still the one breaking the chain link of generational trauma. You are severing the generational trauma of your family with the choices you're making in your life.
-'I don't know if I even want to win the race' - this speaks to me regarding my own transformational spiritual path and how I got out of the race, stopped drinking the KoolAid (as we used to say), dropped the materialism and egoically-conditioned mind and continued on the path of InterBeing , as Thay teaches us.
So, so much more. Thank you for showing up vulnerably, fully, raw, courageously, uninhibited, and yet with a hint of respect underlying your words. You offer respect for the human experience and for the suffering we each carry. Respkt to you! 🙏✨🕉️
I really appreciate you taking the time to not only read my words, but to reflect on them as well. And to be so kind 🥲😁
I have quite a lot of interests so they all end up in my writing and thought it would be cool to show how many places the mind can go over the course of a day.
We have a shared lineage and teacher in Thay it seems, so just know we share the same sangha as well 💜
As an artist, I consider it necessary to be raw. To be as vulnerable as possible. To not be scared of judgment and to be as authentic as I can be. I'm glad you appreciate that.
I appreciate you! Thanks for your initial willingness to look for articles and your follow through on reading them. I'm very glad the algorithm put you on my timeline 😁 and I got a very nice poem to read and contemplate as well.
It's my pleasure, K1. Love your rawness and vulnerability and looking forward to reading more meanderings from your mind. Love that we share our sangha. Thanking the algorithm gods for bringing my peeps closer to me🙏✨🕉️
