Collecting Paradises Comments

My wisest friend and Yoga teacher, Dorotea Mangiamele, used to speak of 'little flashes of enlightenment'. I do believe that's all we get. And all we need (perhaps) to allow us to appreciate our place in the mystery of life. Love your green oasis and your son and your paradises - all of them. Thoughtful, humble joyful writing. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxx

Well, hopefully you won't be paddling up that river any time soon! There's still much left to do in the real world. This is a free-flowing, beautifully imaged read, also has depth and an interesting perspective. Yes, the paradises of life are well worth taking the time to experience. Linda

This piece really gave me food for thought - a new angle. I like it. I love the way you describe it, with an apt analogy here, a precise recollection there.... hint of sadness and all, it truly hits the spot. t x

This poem is somewhat empowering, Max. I love the description of water from the fountain as being from a 'womb' as if it was just being born.
