Thank you Mary, I find your recent post inspiring, I am very reluctant to step into a creative group, but love what you have shared about community, yes, it's so important and can be supportive, inspiring and nurturing.

I love the poets and artists that you have shared, their work is beautiful, love their art.

I will reflect on community and see what transpires.

Blessings, love and peace ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒŸ

This is so so beautiful MB! Our community is so important isnโ€™t it? itโ€™s been such a gift to write with each other and support each other and feel less alone. A real gift. ๐Ÿ’

Also, I had not seen some of those paintings from Azidaโ€” Wowee! Love them!

And itโ€™s really fun to read about our friends this way - thank you!

My darling friend, this is a wonderfully rich chapter in your online (substack) book. I'm super chuffed to be part of it too. Thank you.

And more so, that we were all thrown together for a different reason that led to us being fast friends.

I'm proud as punch of you, and the grace with which you have come through the storms and can shine.

Our little global group truly is a blessing. It's one big warm nest of love that we continue to dip into, to grow, share and restore..

Lovely! As of late, Iโ€™ve rekindled an appreciation for the art of poetry that I havenโ€™t acknowledged in quite some time. While I canโ€™t pinpoint the exact reasons, I have disregarded poetry for years in favor of nonfiction essays and the like. Iโ€™m happy to explore poetry more, as it offers a more creative versus scientific mode of writing. Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ™‚
