    I just came home from my mostly wonderful work as a highschool teacher for music and voice , but had a hard time, as my family is in grief about the grandfather( he was a master of building clocks😊), and the athmosphere was not very friendly and stressed up there, today.... sometimes it takes courage to be vulnerable and still go out to work. But your words about poetry and the bigger connections, (and about the importance of risking oneself !) encouraged me right away. As I know, it is my task here, to bring my heartfulness to my surrounding. So thank you also, for YOUR open heart, it is an amazing inspiration to me. ❤ Alexandra

    I’ve recently discovered your poetry and your videos. They seem to be leading me somewhere, but I’m not sure where yet, except I know that it’s toward being more me than I’ve ever been. Thank you so much for sharing these on UA-cam. It’s where I found them. The places you describe in granada sound absolutely beautiful.

    Your words find the expressions for living into being ….and the interior places of the heart that my yearning calls me to. I just found you one day on my iPad… and have been listening to your heart words, mystical words….so beautifully put together…. I do not know if you can feel all that you say….i hope you do…. The words that you put together take me to a place … or point me to a place …that as a child, I have known, but as an adult after losing so much innocence ….it is as though…. You often recapture….what I have lost… so much more to say…I shall leave now. I would love to know if you ever come to NYC? It would be a joy to hear you and feel your presence. It is a rare thing that I respond in the comments. Your expression moves me deeply. Thank you for sharing your gifts. A.Lynn Jones
