Gorgeous! This is such a reflection of the essay I wanted to write today (about melting one’s defences), but written in the form of visual, pulsating, flowing poetry, it is so much more powerful.❤️

Thank you, Nida! I love your name by the way. I believe the more messages there are in the world about melting our defences the better... I would love to ready your essay. The power is in you telling the story!

Thank you! I had made a few bullet points for the essay in my Notes app this morning, and then I came across your essay, the synchronicity of which felt quite fateful. But I let the day get away from me without doing any writing. Will let you know when I post it though.

Cool picture. Did you ever do any modeling for Klimt in the early 1900's? That would put you at about 140 years old so, yeah, definitely.

Oh, yeah. He and I were thick and thieves. You'd never know it, but I'm much older than I look

Thanks Wes. It was a really cool poem to write. Often my observation is rich with the external world but something about that fluttering feeling bloomed a whole world inside me and I ran with it. I even drew a sketch of the butterfly dress afterward. One day I may just have to have it made. Or learn to sew

take a picture of the sketch and post it along with this butterfly shaped poem.
