The Blue Pool
A young man sipped limoncello, in a bar in the village square,
He was lonely and heartbroken, you would often find him there,
His heart was filled with sorrow, he felt twisted and torn inside,
When a waitress in a black dress, came and whispered as he cried,
‘Do you know there’s a blue pool, born out of the mountain str…Read More![]()

While I fancy myself a romantic, I think I will avoid this Blue Pool. I have loved a few times and may never love again, but I think I do not want to play the fool. Her pool is enticing, her lips warm with arousal, but dear lady, I will remain on this stool. Sorry HJx, I hope you don’t mind where my mind went as I read your poem. -Curt

That last line is a stone dropping into the pond. Solid slap of reality. Doesn’t stop us reaching, does it?

I have sat down with my own monster and sometimes its peaceful then other times… I have learned in my silence. I relax

Silence is key. Sitting in the stillness to understand their contours, pitfalls and safe landings. Sometimes it is a lot easier than others, for sure. Thank you, Fia 😊

Yes, experience speaks to us bold and clear. It’s just a shame it takes so long to hear it sometimes while we sit in a pool of unhappiness and pain.

I think there are times we don’t want to hear. And others we struggle to make out the message. Would be a lot easier if life came with a map and instructions. But how would we really learn then? Thank you, Tim 😊

Willow this is excellent and honest.
It’s taken me many years and several depressive episodes to realise the folly of running from suffering.Its painful to sit wth suffering but you can’t drink it away, drug it away,travel it away or fuck it away….only thing is to acknowledge it and understand it exists in the mind only.
Thanks for making me think.

Ahh but that’s the tricky bit, isn’t it? It’s all in the mind – but the mind is the strongest organ. Amazing to me that we learn at all sometimes. If one can make peace with stillness (not as easy as it seems), it gets easier. Thank you, Peter 😊

Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! This excellent write has depth and insight into your authentic philosophy of life my friend. Your words pierce like needles and then their meaning sinks in. Learning from mistakes equals wisdom. I can relate to this write on so many levels. Amazing work as always. Appreciate you.

A friend of mine once said “It’s okay to sit with your darkness. It’s healthy to do so. Just don’t make a home there.” That struck a chord in me and ive tried to move with that philosophy ever since. We’re taught to suck it up, walk it off, smile, let it go. But we’re not taught how. Seems rather short-sighted. But that’s society for you. Thank you, my friend 😊

I try. After this many years, they’re a smidgen easier to navigate. Life still throws an unseen curve from time to time. But then it’s time to sit down and map it out for the catalog. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

Exactly Willow. Learning from one’s experiences is not SSDD, it’s growth. And this growth is internal and personal, doesn’t matter what others may think. But if someone is paying attention, this growth becomes obvious and welcomed. -Curt

It takes a while to recognize the patterns, but once we do – we grow. And nobody moves at another’s pace. Thank you, Curt
