What this story brings immediately to mind for me is something I'm learning in my own writing: All my life, especially my "professional" life (lawyer), I've depended on what I thought was my "best" feature: my mind, my intellect. But, it turns out, when I focus on what "raises my vibe," (often the creativity of others), what makes me feel good, even brings some awareness of the "divine:" When that happens, the things I write seem to have more "life" and are more helpful to my fellow beings. The way you create seems to me to be a version of that same dynamic. Just reading about it raises my vibe!

Thanks Steve. Proud to be a part of your creative process! And I can feel the energy from your posting and have been sensing for awhile that you’re accessing that ‘super-power’ of vibe to go beyond what I’d call “normal” writing. You are consistently surpassing yourself, in your stellar poems.
