Vacations are so important for stepping out of our day-to-day routines to get a different, more spacious point-of-view. What a great opportunity to put pen to paper. I'm glad you did. I remember doing this when my children were young. I would bring an embarrassing number of notebooks, pens, books, etc on any car trip. Thankfully my family just accepts me as I am. I hope you'll keep carving out time for your writing in the midst of busy family life. It's important to keep feeding your soul so that they will benefit from a wise and humble father/spouse/artist. I hope they see your joy and satisfaction and excitement in the work.
Hearing a poem spoken by its author adds important layers and Life to the words-- thank you, for taking this extra care with your creation. I also appreciate the breakdown. Very helpful and just so cool to hear how a creator finds his way through a piece.
You're making something singular and meaningful. I look forward to reading your work whenever you get time to publish.
Ann thank you so much for the kind and generous words. This whole note feels so encouraging to me, from the standpoint of life, parenting, creating and fitting it all together! ⭐️
What a lovely breakdown, Brian. Thanks for this. As someone who knows essentially zero about poetry, having already read the poem last week and then having this to read through was really enlightening.
Also, I turned 40 this Feb and so know those feelings well, although our experiences are no doubt different. I've certainly reflected far more in the last six months than I feel like I ever did in my 30s. Strange how a numerical transition can elicit such.
Thanks for the feedback and it makes me happy that you’re reading! It’s interesting how some of these feelings are universal in midlife, regardless of experience.
I’m convinced I’m only in mid-life from a time standpoint, but no where near midlife from an experience standpoint ✨

Yes, it is possible to weave it all together in a one-piece life you love. Everything belongs.

Hehe, yep, feel the same. Here's to all those many more years of experience.
