THE POETRY OF BIRTH

The Poetry of Birth is so expansive and profound, as the cycle of life dictates that birth is everywhere.

Birth means 'a beginning.'

This can be the birth of new buds in spring, the birth of animal and wildlife as it struggles with its new surroundings, and orients, and reaches for heights greater and more expansive in every moment.

It can be the birth of a child, newly arrived to yourself, or friends, or in general as they are born to great wealth or dense wastelands of poverty, with their diverse struggles of identity versus survival.  

It can be our own birth, a spiritual awakening, or the journey we take to always invoke a new beginning in a cycle of constant creation.

It can be experiences, good or bad, of beginnings, in any capacity as you move through life on a voyage of discovery and the unknown.

The Poetry of Birth is any beginning, of anything, that touches your soul, and synthesizes emotions. 

The Poetry of Relationships is such an integral part of every ounce of our beingness, because without them, we are alone.  The collective conscious cannot provide for us what a relationship does on this particular plane of existence.  We need them, and they make us who we are. 

It can be our relationship with ourselves, and how we care, and nurture, or don't, what our needs, wants, desires, dreams, and creations are. 

It can be our relationship with our family, friends, children, and what that can, or does, or doesn't, to make life worthwhile or worth expressing.

It can be about our relationship with other groups, how we participate, or keep to ourselves, or view, or listen, or communicate, in a thriving or suppressive environment, and what effect that has on us with respect to our fears, worries, and enthusiasm.

It can be about our relationship with mankind, our humanity towards all beings, races, religions, our tolerances, how we support, and create and work towards creating a better place for everyone, or do we, and what that means?

This is a world wide call
