Soul excavation and spiritual reset. That’s how this reads to me. You’ve never been one to shy away from your shadows.

Reconciliation, redemption and restitution…words from a much earlier poem [circa 2012]
that stayed with me and laid the foundation for this vibe. You have always gotten me, Willow
And I am forever appreciative.Much respect

A great piece, this is great advice for both males and females. Tight

I believe it would be great for both. I only experience this world through the eyes of a woman though. So she was raised to be the fiercest woman she could in a world that often only sees our outer package

She’s on an upswing now but the pandemic took the wind out of her sails. As a fellow Pisces, you know the fluidity of y’all’s fierce nature. She will rock the world. Thank you, my friend

I have witnessed this. To pay close attention to another’s entire being is to be rewarded with infinite wonders and friendships.
Your poem is so thoughtful and tender while bearing a harsh truth.

It’s aggravating for her to have thoughts and not be heard because they’re focused on the wrong things. Some would say it’s their loss, but its hers too. And mine. And every woman summed up by her physical attributes. Thank you, Jim

Awesome awareness of her value. It is old news, that our looks will fade and our health will wane, so what we have of value on the inside is what will sustain us. That fortitude to be a decent human even if surrounded by “less”. it is our shine, our aura, that will never fade. Sounds like she has hers intact, probably many thanks to you, dear Willow.

She’s a force to be reckoned with. There’s not much I’ve done that I’m super proud of, but raising her is top of the list. And to be honest, she teaches me now. Full circle. Thank you, Styxian

This is an awesome tribute to your daughter, dear Willow! You raised her in the light of the only true values that matter – sustainable values of love, peace and understanding. You must be very proud of your daughter. She is really beautiful, she has a beautiful soul!

For a long time all we had was each other. I chose to be her mother first, not a buddy. Now I have a best friend. She’s forbidden me to die. We’ll see how that goes… Thank you, Neville

I only raised her so far…and the rest is her own indomitable spirit. She speaks, I listen. I am amused how often we say the same thing at the same time. She used to roll her eyes. Now she just laughs. I guess there are worse things than thinking like her mother. Thank you, girl

There is no avoiding this crisis even with two working people in the same home, utilities and groceries are at an all time high. But there may be a reason for this like to pull families together. Tight

I can totally relate to this poem. This gov’t shutdown has made me incredibly nauseous and sick. The shenanigans these assholes create, jeopardizing hard working people for what. Their gain?! Well said Brenda! Looks like the shutdown is coming to an end real soon. Hopefully your daughter is ok. xo

Beautifully penned, Speak. Nothing like a walk to think things through, you know figure shit out. It’s nice to have a companion come along for moral support. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

A dog walk is a zen experience in some ways …Thx Sir D

Those little moments captured seem so simple but they can be quite profound. I haven’t walked a dog in years, but there’s a peacefulness to it that I still remember. Neither of my remaining granny cats would ever submit to a walk. Drop over like cadavers if you put a harness on them. Cats…

I love the quiet of the dawn.
Very few people out.
Mostly joggers, people walking their dogs and and nurses going to work.Poems sometimes come to me on these walks.
Personally I think it’s my best poem DUP ceased operations ….
