As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The truth is that as I was taking the time to reflect upon my writings, I began to realize that sometimes we have to write over and over again, repeat what we have to write. The same things over and over again, and of course analyze a same topic from many different angles. To exemplify: we can think about my recent writings about Venezuela. Where a series of writings, were then formulated as The Venezuelan Chapter. Or we can even think of an idea / concept, such as peace, love, or the achievement of such. Just because one has written about something, it doesn't mean that is has been achieved or not. But it does mean that someone had the audacity, or enough care to write / meditate upon such a topic, event or idea.

     The cyclical nature of thought, might sometimes mean repetition, but sometimes it does not. We can think about repetitions as renewed focus upon a specific thought, as a cyclical nature of social progress and innovation. To further exemplify this thought, we can think about the poets, philosophers, thinkers, artists, who wrote about the minute details of life. Even if we take a simple poem, we begin to understand that sometimes - what previous writers / poets wrote about could even be true to this very day. Poems: acting like teachers who desires to show / guide humans, often ignored and undervalued.   


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1881)

​***

" ... Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal: // 
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate; ..."


- A Psalm of Life

"in his poetry is characteristic of the gentle, dignified man who lived a life of reflection. More over, he was simply practising his belief that the function of poetry was 'to charm, to strengthen, to teach.' " 


My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
