This piece is inspired by a comment from Lance Sheridan.

Thank you, Lance for your kind encouraging words. I have learned much from you.
She dips her pen in magic waters
And
Sensibilities stunned seeing
Not
What she expected–
Not
Her own self-reflection;
Instead,
The entire universe
And galaxies within galaxies reflected…
She knows the words she is about to transcribe are not her own.
And
She knows these words will become the death of her.
She smiles–
Dips her pen
And
Begins to write.
With love and gratitude,
Nina

Beautiful Nina!! It is as though you find something magical when you write your words and this poem is gorgeous. Will these words become the death of you?? I’m left wondering about this…. dangerous and fatal words, but she smiles and writes them. I am intrigued…. 💓💓💓

Beautiful. Perfect. Magnificent.
It’s really amazing, how much heaviness these words can hold as cargo on ships sailing across souls.

Thank you, Watt. I sincerely appreciate your support. 🙏🏻
So I had to let your words sink in—and I think I understand what you mean…from one soul to another, and from mine to yours—I’m grateful to have become aquatinted with you and I won’t soon forget you when I am gone, ok?
So don’t you forget me! Teehee.🙃
The ‘cargo’ these words hold—the ‘ideas’ the words represent—is this what you mean?
And the ideas—they are ‘heaviness’? Heavy—as in ‘weighty’? ‘Depressing?’ Or heavenly? 😊 the idea of these words traveling ‘ships sailing’ across souls is quite lovely. Thank you for adding to this. And yes, I agree—it is really amazing…
