At times I need to clean my own mental congestion and seek living simply in a world filled with noise, tension, and the weight of expectations. Thank you Melissa, lovely poem. ✨💖

I need the same thing sometimes (and often, the mental rest is hard to come by). Thank you, Charlotte.

Lovely sentiment, poem and painting. I do think we are made to be more industrious and push the envelope in a good way. Our own disappointment and longing instructs us. Thank you for the poem and painting, Melissa. Dr David

I agree—although I also think we have within us the thing that inhibits us. Thank you for reading and for your kind words, David.

Yes. Our survival instinct and our desire not to lose anything.
