I’m visiting your Substack for the first time in a few months. I wanted to tell you that I’ve been feeling really down lately, un-excited and uninspired. But your reading of the poem, then rereading it, and “...we’re explorers” just sparked something that felt really nice. It’s felt like my mind is a snow globe with a layer of dust on the glass, and you just picked up the snow globe and gave it a gentle shake. Thank you, Patti.
Expanding the field (hopefully)... just came across this on YouTube which may be of some interest... a wild speed ride with Henry Miller on Rimbaud pulling in Ezra Pound en route...https://www.youtube.com/live/QxPyO_ITfM0?feature=share
How lovely, Patti. Enjoy Bogota. Life's twists have brought me to the deep jungles of Panama and it's here I'm opening ALMA: A Women's Artist's Residency. One day, if the winds of life bring you to Panama, it would be such a pleasure to host you.
I am so happy that you are here in Bogotá at the same time that I am here in vacation. I will see you tomorrow at Teatro Colon! I am thrilled to see you live!
Wonderful poem - The white moon ... and sweet Cairo - seems she understands it! Love this ...
Que hermoso
So beautiful! I didn’t know that graceful, exquisite poem. Thank you, Pattiv

Cairo+You=PureLove 🥰
Thank you Patti. I love being an explorer with you as my guide ! Safe travels . Cairo will undoubtedly miss you ! 😊✌🏼
Thank you for sharing that lovely poem, your thoughts and Cairo.
I love to go through a poem twice (or more). The meaning often deepens or changes for me in subsequent readings.
Great to hear you read it several times, the meaning and images sink deeper each time 🙏🏽

I love that you call us Explorers!! Thank you for sharing this lovely poem. Thanks to for sharing lovely Cairo...that cat adores you! Safe travels!
Paul Verlaine, lucky you. Love him live.
The statement "We are not aiming for perfection. We are explorers " should be made into tee shirts.
Bring on the merch !
Thank you Patti
