Thank you - what a beautiful poem/image! This talk reminded me to pull a book from my shelf - The Great Image has no Form (by Julien) quote from google search about the book: “In premodern China, elite painters used imagery not to mirror the world around them, but to evoke unfathomable experience. Considering their art alongside the philosophical traditions that inform it, The Great Image Has No Form explores the “nonobject”-a notion exemplified by paintings that do not seek to represent observable surroundings.”

I shat my pants to this poem. It smells like unconditional love.

Woke up this morning and realized I was stuck between worlds. Came across this video and it helped me to embody my pain.

This resonates very much. Is there a full conversation available somewhere?

Beautifully relevant to writing music as well ❤

Finding the part what doesn't know to say 💟

Wonderful to listen to you both! Thank you for sharing this! It inspires me to come back to writing poetry again. That maybe I gave up on it right when I needed to stay with it, and get that breakdown or breakthrough.
I’d love to hear the rest of the talk or series. Is it available?
