Poetry can be taught. But really, it should be lived. Tried, tested, engaged with. Let it in and allow it to change your life.

My birthday is coming soon. A year ago, we were celebrating it by reading, roleplaying, and discussing my favorite book. This year, we will be reading, roleplaying, and discussing the plan that turns your dream into reality. I Am So Afraid of Not Having Time for Something I am so afraid of not having time for something, Of not savoring this life with full lungs, Of spending even a third of it on the wrong things, Of those years given to me freely by a higher essence, Of filling my days with the wrong deeds, feelings, work, cities, With people who walk beside me like shadows, Strangers not close to my heart. I am very afraid that tomorrow I will regret What yesterday I lacked the courage for. To be honest, I am afraid of growing old, Of seeing a grumbling old woman in the mirror. Time is so fragile, I am only a moth, flying toward the light, hoping not to get burned. While my timer has not yet run out, I really need to have a wildly good time.

You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it real. See you soon!

“Don't tell people what you are thinking, or you will miss them terribly when you are away.” ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye.

People I admire say that if you found your person, you should never let them go, but no one says where to find them, or what to do if suddenly you lost them ... I Want to Be With You I want to be with you... at least for just an hour... To look into your eyes, "drink tea" with no tea at all... To touch your hand and stay silent about us, To admit how deeply, how much I miss you. I want to be with you... at least for just a moment... To feel your smile with my lips... To laugh together, like heroes in books, To walk along the edge of happiness, so fragile. I want to be with you... at least for just a lifetime... To share with you every shiver on my skin, Just please don't give up on me! Having once met you among the passersby. My birthday is coming soon. This time we will be reading my favorite book, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. The author of this book forbade making a movie based on it, so we do not have anything to show, but we do have something to talk about! Date: October 17 Place: Zoom Time: 8 pm
