restacking means you tap the symbol right near the heart at the bottom...and it means you are giving the piece a chance to reach more people than it would otherwise.

Poets tell stories too

in language of the heart

not of the brain.

Their stories

touch our hearts

bypassing

cluttered brains.

They may originate in

bewilderment

Or in a place we claim is

knowing

But the ending’s never

ho hum or hum de dumb

or anything expected

And that’s why makes them

precious.

Yes! “Staying focused on what I’ve been given, not on what I lost or how.” Gratitude keeps me afloat!

Thank you so much for your words.

Thank you, Dr. Pat. I’ve been so caught up with life’s hand-me-downs lately that I’ve overlooked GRATITUDE.

Your writing has many, but connected tangents. A good story has an arc which, as we know from geometry, has an infinity of tangents. And here I rest my case.

Thank you for your words. Please consider restacking my work.

Three healing teaspoons of chaos and crazy mixed with two teaspoons of rightness and light. You can’t get back into your home,and you are not you anymore. But you are brave and devoted, and you hold the stars in your hand.

You figured it out that I did not know how to restock anything. But now I do know, thanks to you.

Restack, not restock🙃

Tomayto, tomahto; anyway, I did restack some of your work. The error was committed by AI, and not by me, but I will be more vigilant in future.

I like the format of this post! Each line is a jewel, with the space around it allowing its full meaning. The last two lines resonate especially with me.

Judith Hannah Weiss's avatar

Thank you and very grateful. Please consider restacking my work. Deep bow

Sharon Nolfi's avatar

I don't know how to do that. Please help.

It's a symbol at the bottom of each post next to where the heart symbol is. It looks a little bit like a recycle symbol

It would be very helpful if people would hit that symbol if they like what the read. Thank you for considering.

A better day .. In whatever Galaxy, leather chair, cloud, hug that may be! An ache and breath ...

“When you are running out of years, there are tears around every corner “. That certainly resonates with me. Less in front and so many behind. I am grateful for whatever lies the next corner. Thank you for your beautiful words, they make my days better.

I'm looking for words but the only voice they would have doesn't enter thru the eyes.

Thank you for this.

The more I read this, the more I realize that we have a Mensa star in our midst. Huzzah, J!

Judith Hannah Weiss's avatar

You can't be talking about me. So to whom are you referring?

Hugh Briss's avatar

You, of course, dahling.

Judith Hannah Weiss's avatar

Please consider restacking my posts. To do so, you tap the symbol right near the heart at the bottom. This gives the piece a chance to reach more people than it would otherwise.
