I breathe
"I breathe" I crave my thoughts I long to roam I mourn the body I've called home I miss my smile I miss my friends I miss attending Fun events I long to write I ache to read I mourn my mind’s Lost complexity I long to swim They miss the key I mourn the mum I wished to be I miss the cows I miss the boots I miss the meadows And my roots And I breathe... I miss my family And humanity And the fantasy Of financially Independently wishing sanity And a gravity That isn’t captivity Not an analogy But brutality Rising agony Because the hospitality Of the mentality That brings casualty And normality To this brutality Of depravity, Loss of capacity, Is in reality A communal mortality. And I breathe... I long to run I ache to think I mourn being A missing link I want to help I want to give I mourn knowing How to fully live I miss the world I long to see My own reflection I mourn me ...And. I. breathe. #MECFS #Longcovid

@James Wilson Thank you, James. It’s already been quite a journey, but I keep moving forward. The beauty of life is still out there, often hidden in the so-called “mundane things” that most people overlook (and I don’t blame them). When I was finally able to walk outside again for the first time, I saw a train passing by and teared up because it was so beautiful. It was the first train I’d seen in about a year. Later, I took a photo of another train, and a lady nearby looked around, trying to figure out what I was photographing because she couldn’t see what I saw. In day-to-day life I'd also rather say something like "It's challenging", than using the word suffering. I guess this writing is a bit dark, which the condition itself is and the way people (don't ) treat it as well, and still there are still so many good things out there. How are you?
Question for members
What do you want to see more of in this group? What would get you excited to be part of our circle? What do you want from me as admin? What would make you more interested in posting your poems and providing feedback to others?

Hi James, I don't know the answer. I personally haven't been much online here, but I would like to change that. Maybe some discussions on a topic or sharing of something people love? I'm not sure. What would you like to see? Maybe you could do "a poem of the week/month" or so. Not that that's something I need, but I've seen this on different (painting) forums and it seemed to boost engagement. Wishing you a nice day!
Compound Effect
A few errors repeated daily create a massively different life compared to a few good disciplines repeated daily. It's like a couple planes flying across a continent at 1 degree different directions. Even that small of a difference when compounded across long periods of time create night and day different results. What do you want to course correct in your daily habits? What do you want to double down on and repeat? Sharing is caring, let's talk!

Lay down my phone more often. Meditate every day. Write wins every week. Write down the things I'm grateful for. Send compassion into the world. What about you, @James Wilson ?

@James Wilson thank you! What's your main mission?
My soul is thirsty for music
My soul is thirsty for music, Not just to hear the notes, but to taste them and run my fingers through their hair as they emerge from my being. I’ve long taken for granted that I am an instrument of God, What then shall be my instrument this moment? Dare I say it could be different in the next. I am not bound to material tools, I am endlessly transmorphing and individuating in sound. Tunes thread through my mind with images spurring them forth. Ragas fill my heart and caress my soul with sweet buttermilk and Moonlight, And each night vibrates with the bliss of Saraswati’s cooing. 2024-0505

I feel the chanting, thank you for sharing, it's beautiful. How's the drumming going? Also, if you like all sorts of music, you could check out Ren. I love his music and the messages he conveys, maybe you'll like it as well! Do you follow any artist you'd recommend?

@James Wilson that's great to hear. I love his music (also for some years, but went deeper down the rabbit hole more recently). Thank you so much, I'll definitely look them up! And yeah, enjoyment is the most important thing, isn't it? The process, not the result :-)
