Hi Stephen – a bit confusing today as it looks like both yours and Christine’s (Braveandrecklessblog) PYM posts on Go Dog Go Cafe are picking up PYM links in their comments – my link to a poem is on Christine’s.

Hi, Happy Monday. Here is my offering for “Promote Yourself Monday, 3/2/20″ – A nonsense poem / I Saw the Potatoes Hang on the Line
I saw the potatoes hang on the line
I saw the clean washing swim in the sea
I saw the mackerel run up the hill
I saw the young ponies climb the tall tree
I saw the red squirrel melt in the sun
I saw the large iceberg in a glass vase
I saw the red roses dance on the floor
I saw the old couple glow in the sky
I saw the bright rainbow closing her eyes
I saw the small baby eat a gazelle
I saw the wild lion cast a clay pot
I saw the skilled potter boil on the stove
Here is the link https://goffjamesart.wordpress.com/2020/02/23/poetry-i-saw-the-potatoes-hang-on-the-line-a-poem-by-goff-james/.
Have a great day.

A fine piece to contemplate. I wonder if the answer to this remains lost if we never learn to love ourselves?

Maybe it does because we are too critical of self to love ourselves as we are.

I did not read it until my 30’s until I was in bedrest with pre-term labor but I am now an ardent fan. In truth, the chapters I finished of Heart of the Storm in the early 90’s read like LOTR meets Pride and Prejudice! Perhaps I should have added a more transparent disclosure.

Thanks so much Stephen. Interestingly the inspiration for this poem came the other day. I have just met with a friend who is the Exec Director of a new charity locally addressing the PTSD first responders and victims of abuse experience. I am going to volunteer my time with reading and writing poetry for healing.
