It’s good to hear back from you! I am humbled by your praise. I do try to understand others, though not always (or even often) with accurate results. I stand to learn much more about understanding others. As long as I’m imperfect in this respect, there’s something to work on. I remember coming across a book titled “How to Read a Book”. It was written by Mortimer Adler. I briefly flipped through the book. It seemed very interesting, at least at first glance, showing me there is much more I can learn about digesting written works. Since humans are (usually) much more complex than the words they write, there is much more for me to learn about understanding others.
Yes, keep projecting those aesthetic blessings! It means so much to know someone is calling out to you, or perhaps transmitting you signals through the “noosphere”. Some individuals feel like musical or artistic ideas strike them out of the blue. Perhaps they’re getting some of your aesthetic blessings? I know I certainly am profiting from your aesthetic transmissions. You might even say they’re inspiring me, in a way, as I write this letter!
I like your Latin phrase. I took Latin for several years in middle and high school. I have fond memories of the classes, because my teachers were so intelligent and inspiring. They taught me the value of loving a particular thing, in this case Latin, even when many others think it is stupid or uncool or unprofitable or a waste of time and resources. Some of the Latin poetry we read is truly beautiful. Because it is very easy to rhyme in Latin, poetry in that language had to rely on subtle literary techniques other than rhyming at the end of a line. The best Latin poets could improvise a poem about their current circumstances. It reminds me a lot of off-the-dome freestyle in modern day rapping!
Though I can not relate to Foster the Children, it hit me in a place that felt like I went through this. Your profile grabbed my attention, and your writing intrigues me. Please keep wring Roland.
inmates in the state are currently awaiting execution while the vast majority of the 700+ are in their post-conviction review process (appeal) in the state and federal courts. A process in which usually takes 25 years or more before a death sentence is either vacated or affirmed at i
What a blunt poem on toxic relationships. Sometimes it really needs to be said for people to see the ugly truth of the angry and manipulative. Thanks for that.
I read Brave New World when I was younger, and I really loved it. It had a lot of ideas about our possible future, and a lot of valid points about our current society that I thought were very thought provoking.
Hello Christopher! Happy birthday! I hope it went great. I wish i could send a gift! I'm sorry to hear about the birthday card from your family not being allowed. I understand what youre talking about, the little things being taken away. We all deserve those simple pleasures. They truly have no empathy or heart. I am glad to hear you are not allowing it to break your spirit, which, like you said, is what they want. Good to hear your freedom is close at hand. Stay strong!
