Belinda,

Oh, that was fun…words forward and backward that full of purpose and meaning. Well done:~) You are really having fun with the poetry and I’m lucky for it!

So very true about the need for open and honest dialogue. It happens so infrequently, but can truly change a life or lives. This was beautifully done, Belinda.

Remarkably clever and accomplished. A difficult, but enormously rewarding poem. Thank you.

Before I got to your query at the end I was going to say something like “If only we had this happening at all levels in our world, half our troubles would be solved. ” ;_) This looks simple and perfectly occurring, almost effortless, which I’m sure it wasn’t. A wonderful piece in a challenging form–with a great message.

Indeed I agree…listening…with ears, with eyes, with hearts with all of our presence…sometimes not talking at all…just listening to one another breathing would shift so much…kindness would blossom like spring after a perfect rain. Yes, yes, yes. BEautiful poem my dear!

I think conversations are helpful, but only if it is a real dialogue between two people who are interested in exchanging ideas. I’ve found some people are more keen on just hearing themselves talk without really listening to the other person’s point of view.

Love how you mirror the post like a conversation.

“Be impeccable with your word” — is one of the four agreements upon which the ancient toltec peoples built their highly advanced civilization. It is perhaps the most important of the four because so much importance rides on what we say to each other. What comes out of your mouth has the power to harm, heal, teach, inspire, define, change, destroy…

Carry out each conversation with thought and love and love will abound.

This is neat! I like the dimensions created by turning everything around, turning dialogue into a sort of dialectic.
