Human nature is complex… but we are shifting… and we will find a way out of this hall of mirrors and find balance. But as my mentor and shaman mama once wisely said to me - “Sometimes in nature finding balance can look like a volcanic explosion.”

Of course you’re a poet, too, Sydney! And yet, I should have known, and this poem only reflects the heart of all your deeply considered writings. Really nice! 💚

Thank you so much, Don! I think maybe, like in nature, different seasons or experiences just take different forms. Poetry is not a frequent expression for me, but there are moments 💕

I like your something different—poetry can be a powerful way to say important words that might be ignored if said in prose. I admire the many ways you keep trying to break through the barriers of disagreement.

Thanks so much, Diana! I hope this isn't misery-loving-company, but I am comforted to know I'm not alone in this experience, even though I wish it didn't have to be that way 💕😢
