Gorgeous as always, Devin. I’m obsessed with Bulley’s use of “the” in that poem: “the water,” “the herbs,” “the tulips.” Really adds some special feeling of regularity or routine. Rituals, even. ❤️

Thank you always for reading, Dia! And yes -- the "the" offers that sense of purpose and consistency. Yes. Like a ritual. Thank you.

..."And when we recognize in each moment what deserves to be recognized." A resounding Yes!

"Endurance maintains one’s ability to have agency, to enact change. Endurance, in many ways, is the long, long, long enactment of hope. It is hope turned into the extended moment. It is hope made possible."

Yes. Endurance is about wanting to live, having hope. Thank you for today's poem and your thoughts. Just what I need to see, to hear, to feel.
