    “the way you notice can be a weapon or an act of love”♥️

    The way she can always, in some mysterious way make me tear up.. and then come back for more. She's my favorite poet and I'm happy to know that I live and exist at the same time as her.

    I have yet to find a single poem by Sarah that doesn't make something inside me stir awake. Thank you.

    That line: “The way you notice can be a weapon or an act of love.” Yeah, that’s the one. Imagine walking through life with her penchant towards noticing the little things. So glad to hear you again Sarah. And thank you for helping us notice and see.

    poetry is a language, for people who have almost nothing in common, but blend and let their hearts speak to each other. Its our little world, our escape room.♥

    One day I'll read Sarah Kay what I've written. No, not because I think it's great but because I think she's the only person I know who might just get why I write at all... because she has helped me discover my need to write.

    (4:50 - 5:10): "the way you notice can be a weapon or an act of love. That color blooms through every city whether you see it or don't, whether you seek it or don't. So why not seek? Why not see?" ♥♥♥

    This is exactly why I absolutely love Sarah. Her poetry is a story that is weaved with such intricate details and it is so beautiful. Sometimes I'm like, she's not real there is no way that story telling like this could still exist. But it does and I am glad. Plus her voice is soothing.

    PERSEVERANCE
    //
    In response to my setbacks and obstacles, I am triumphant and
    I am motivational. I cannot die.
    //
    In response to my setbacks and
    my defeats, I am indestructible
    and victorious. I am spectacular.
    //
    My failures and my adversity makes
    me a champion and warrior. I destroy
    my setbacks through my perseverance.
    //
    My failures and my knockouts cannot
    knock me out. My toughness and my courage makes me strong and resilient.
    //
    In response to my roadblocks, I am resilient and persevering. I am a real champion because I am a overcomer.
    //
    After I endure my setbacks, I emerge victorious and triumphant. No fighters
    can erase my greatness and excellence.
    //
    Continue to rise up and never quit when the going gets tough in life. Continue to
    stand up and rise up after all obstacles.
    //
    The greatest champions and title winners never gave up and stayed
    defeated. We have greatness in us.
    //
    Greatness and excellence lies within
    us eternally. Define indestructible and
    inextinguishable heroes by their hearts.
    //
    Real champions and triumphers in the universe triumph over challenges and
    defeats period. We are eternally tough.
