I love, love, love the idea of stories behind the stories. I cannot wait. Truly! That being said, I think that having art and supporting art is as important as anything else we do. More important, in fact. So, if this community disbanded today (let's not) and you stopped sharing in this space today (please don't), that subscription has already been honored with all the art therapy we've received to date. Thank you from the bottom of my soul. Perhaps, you can rest the brains a bit today? I hope.

On another note, this poem, wow. You really do get people and I suspect you do because you really take the time to hear them and then empathize. That is such a rare talent. I have lived this story and, at first, could not get through the poem without crying. I understand it so well, but to have someone else get it, now that is very special. Born of Peace - there's a title to explore and and pursue. Perhaps something to consider when the borders open again?

This is a beautiful poem and a beautiful story. I love the idea of being able to hear the stories behind the poems and learn about your creative process. What a privilege for us!

What’s it like to write these custom poems - to put yourself in someone’s shoes and convey their emotion? I think you do it very well, so I’m curious how you do it.
