Poetry To Heal Kopal Vijay Often we forget ourselves in the race of life. Let's take a moment, close our eyes and breath in each word I say, because I say it all to heal. Let me heal you. Break those chains, open that cage and fly my dear. Love yourself and let me make you love you even more. Peace Mentality - Space Between the Notes Deboraj Swan Welcome to Peace Mentality with Deboraj Swan! Here we will slow down like molasses and take our sweet time vibing in this moment. We’ll listen to musical melodies, poetry, spoken word, explore ideas, and share our stories as we learn to focus on what brings us peace! We honor our melanin, our beautiful shades of brown that is our cultural heritage, our lineage from our grandmothers, mothers, aunts and other extraordinary Black women! Their strength, love, courage, joy and collective wisdom is our legacy that we will share through their stories. This is our brave, peaceful space! Like One Who, Doomed by Thomas Moore (1779 - 1852) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 25 recordings of Like One Who, Doomed by Thomas Moore.This was the Weekly Poetry project for October 17, 2021. ------This Weekly Poem by Thomas Moore describes a man whose hopes are dashed at the last moment. - Summary by David Lawrence Towards Democracy by Edward Carpenter (1844 - 1929) LibriVox “Civilization sinks and swims, but the old facts remain—the sun smiles, knowing well its strength.” Edward Carpenter (1844-1929) wrote his prose poem, Towards Democracy, styled after Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, in a summer burst of creativity. “Early in 1881, no doubt as the culmination and result of struggles and experiences that had been going on, I became conscious that a mass of material was forming within me, imperatively demanding expression . . .” An English intellectual, Carpenter was in rebellion against Victorian prudery. Railing against Industrialization’s dehumanization, he preached a return to a simple life in harmony with Nature. Towards Democracy reads like Beat poetry—wild flowing word associations, moments of insight so clear they hurt, interspersed with pure rant! Included is an essay Carpenter wrote in 1894 explaining his intent and feelings in writing Towards Democracy. - Summary by Sue Anderson
