Ivan, ‘between woes and foes’ is profound, intimate, and inviting. Thanks for sharing yourself with us, and—through that—being a light for those that walk scattered, isolated in pain. Calling us to gather and assemble in joy.

Many faves but for a highlight:

I’m crushed by the pain of a tale that I can’t tell

It’s a deep, dark abyss that nobody knows.

It would be nice to not exist and watch life

and watch life from the sidelines

but we are actors and performers.

In each poetic verse, there’s a story

that can take us to a distant memory

the words paint a picture so divine

and the heart is filled with beauty so sublime

Thanks for being a light that gathers, and here’s to “rewriting this whole life and this time there will be so much love, we won’t be able to see beyond it.”

Can’t wait for the full collection and in the meanwhile get yourself a good treat to be paid by me in the future🥂
