Thanks, Jody! Well put: "Being intentional and aware are the best beginning."

“mark the whirling earth who bears

still waters”

Love this line

[Tyler Rogness]

Thanks!

Thanks for these thoughts, Tyler! They hit home, since I’ve been convicted of some of these things lately and am trying to sort through that very concept.

[Tyler Rogness]

Thanks for saying so, Christina. It's quite the challenge to not impose oneself on the world. It occurs to me my tendency is, in a way, to enter the conversation of the world speaking, instead of listening first and learning. I think that's the mindset I'm trying to work against in this piece.

Thanks for reading and engaging!

[Christina Fait]

Well put, Tyler. Listening is always harder to do than speaking, for me as well. Thanks for the encouragement to listen to receive more!

[R. Michael Spangler]

I love this, Tyler. Thank you.

[Tyler Rogness]

Thanks for saying so, R. Michael!

[Sierra Westerholm]

Beautiful...

[Lindsey Gallant]

Thank you, thank you for this. I especially loved this line: "mark the whirling earth who bears

still waters."

[Tyler Rogness]

Thanks, Lindsey!

I appreciate what you say about ‘fracking’ a poem rather than giving it the time it needs to emerge. Well said.

[Tyler Rogness]

Thanks, Angela! I’m glad to hear that resonated.

"Let there be night, my restless soul." - strikes at the heart of my struggle. Good words.

[Claire Adderholt]

"and ember down with our chariot star.

Let there be night, my restless soul.

Break open like the even."

this is particularly beautiful - fed my mind and made me come to a stop - and I'm particularly fond of poems in which we self-address our souls like the Psalmists, so thank you

[Tyler Rogness]

Thanks for that, Claire. I’m glad to hear this resonated!

[Cassie Troja]
