RE: When a Hive blogger is also a published author: how blessed can we be? Yahia Lababidi’s “Learning to Pray"

in GEMS2 years ago (edited)

So, grateful to read this, dear @carolkean, and to be seen with such enthusiasm! For me, too, books are living things and they go out and make their own friends :)

Thank you, for allowing my new book to speak for itself. I assure you, as the "author" of this collection, I'm still learning from it -- as well as perceptive reviewers.. I mean, readers :P such as yourself!

It's an honor to be likened to the vast spirit of Walt Whitman and, more personally, especially meaningful for me to know that my poetry helped you with your grieving over your dear sister.

This, I believe, is the highest function of all art, to heal our soul and remind us --amid all that perishes in this world-- of what is Indestructible. 🙏🌟
