Summary

This quote encapsulates the essence of poetry as a form of communication that goes beyond the limitations of other mediums. It suggests that poetry taps into a unique realm, allowing the expression of certain experiences that cannot be fully conveyed through other forms of communication. Poetry offers a way to express emotions, thoughts, and moments that are often too complex, abstract, or intangible for ordinary language. It serves as a transcendent language that connects the reader or listener with profound insights and profound human experiences that would otherwise remain unexpressed.

The universe danced towards life. Life was a remarkably common commodity. Anything sufficiently complicated seemed to get cut in for some, in the same way that anything massive enough got a generous helping of gravity.

There is a distinct difference between the ability to create

There is a distinct difference between the ability to create life and the innate need to protect it; to cherish it. The life you've created is the one being you love most in the universe, and that intense love evolves into something that goes far beyond a sense of duty. It is instinct; pure and undeniable. As a direct result, one must neglect all else to preserve it. Even those we have claimed to love before.

So I really did stop and change what I saw I was about, and really try to put that principle into play as the center of everything - my friendships, my marriage, my career, my family, my way of being in the world. And that changed everything for me.

I don't think the Palestinian people or Afghan children or some other things I'm concerned about are at the top of other people's agendas - not right now, when America is going through such a recession and people are suffering across the board financially. But I think all that will change.
