A much belated thank you Adam. As you know, I’ve been MIA from the commenting circuit these past couple of weeks. Getting caught up now.

Thanks for the link to the celebration. And thanks for the great interview. I really enjoyed it and I sure hope your group participants enjoy it too!

Adam…

How did you KNOW that Rives makes my heart go pitter-patter? He knows how to turn a frown upside down doesn’t he?

Another one of his poems inspired my ‘Gorgeous is an Inside Job’ post at PMP awhile back…

I knew you were a lyrical gangsta my friend! And I agree with Jean above…it does come thru on your blog. That’s part of the delicious-ness that keeps us coming back for more…that and the fact that you “get it”.

Thanks for sharing my crush with your readers:)
Peace & Life is Poetry in Motion,

Thanks, Rosa, Jean, and Phil I appreciate it. Rosa, I can't wait to get your book — to think that I'm just doing what comes natural to me and living Mahalo at the same time just makes my day.

You are very welcome Adam. You wrote a great post that deserved to be shared and enjoyed by all. Thanks for working as hard as you do writing great stuff! It makes a difference to me, and I’m sure many of your other readers.

As it turns out, Adam, some of us have already noticed that you’re a poet. You may think you’ve been out of the poetry loop, but it comes through in your blogs.

So what am I grateful for today? For Jane Austen, especially her Emma, which I’ve recently listened to again. It makes me really appreciate our connection to the wider world. Sure, handling information overload is a challenge, but I’ll take that any day over living in a world where there were so few opportunities for women.

Not at all surprised to hear about your writing studies Adam, for you display what you’ve learned so beautifully here; it is a well-practiced craft in your good hands.

Thank you for sharing the TED clip on Rives, I loved it! Poetry had been the one kind of writing that I kept at arms length for most of my life, for it hadn’t appealed to me until it began to be performed by artists like Rives and Taylor Mali (if I may share his art as well, I’ll link my name in this comment to an intro I wrote to the JJL readers about him). These gentlemen, and others like them, present what they have written in a way that evokes such emotion; after watching you seem to have no choice but to sit back and soak it in before you can gain your own footing in the world again.

Last week’s Friday sharing was terrific here, and so is today’s: Your expression of living the value of Mahalo is going to remain my habit!
