We are born with inner power...often released when least expected -- not an intellectual awakening but a spiritual one. One teaches us, while the latter transforms us.

We belong to the last generation that will make intellectually significant contributions. After that, the best to be hoped for is 'Not bad, for a human.' But then, if computers had to run on million year old technology, they wouldn't do so well either.

“Poetic intellection operates beyond all jurisdiction; therefore, all claims of proprietary legitimacy over poetry are invalid.”
|
When someone says that the poetry of Shakespeare, Shelley, Keats, etc. is boring I don't know what to think of them, any more than I would know what to think of someone who said that love is boring.

Who is more ambitious: someone whose ambition is to be a billionaire, or someone whose ambition is to be a great poet? Consider: in 1820 Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Byron, Keats, and Shelley were all alive and writing poetry. In 1820 who was the richest person in England? Who knows? Who cares?

The desert muse only visits the intellectually thirsty.

Insight borne of experience is much more likely to be universally applicable than insight borne of intellect.

"Don't try to coerce respect through intimidation or obsequiousness - these strategies undermine self-worth and lead to frustration. Authentic respect cannot be compelled; it stems from others' own judgments and choices. Instead of trying to control others' behavior, focus on self-respect and upholding your own standards of integrity. Lead by example through principled and rational responses that speak for themselves. By doing so, you'll maintain personal power and demonstrate true character."

AI should not be allowed on creative writing sites. When identified use, the writer should be banned, in an effort to keep the integrity of honest poetry free from artificial stink. AI will soon write a new interpretation of the bible I am certain. A logical interpretation, but void of spiritual essence. AI is not a tool, like an encyclopedia or text book with valuable examples of meaningful reference, it is a soulless entity that will lead to ever greater intellectual and moral depravity.

Africans are among the best story-tellers in the world. African writers are farmers who grow stories. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

I'm Maryam, spelled without an 'i'.
|
Excellence is no accolade to be obtained in and of itself but rather the hallmark and herald of those committed to its ideal.
|
I Love You, is sacred. Even if not understood intellectually, consciously, the heart knows its profound implication. The words will not sincerely be uttered, unless the soul of one's being is fully, eternally committed.
|
You can tell who writes from the heart -- there is a living quality to those works transcending mere Intellectualism.
|
Money doesn't begets more money, rather skills to handle and multiply it begets more money. Use your intellectual!!!

"The stars are the ancient storytellers of the cosmos, their light spanning eons and vast distances to whisper the universe's tales to us." - Aloo Denish Obiero
|
King James is the Living Word, and not an intellectual commentary: if you don’t understand it, Then Get yourself Alive!
|
Love is an analogue to bliss - Danielle Mikaelian
|
Although these terms may often imply some parity, their common and shared roots, may separate and turn them astray. For example, genius and wisdom both involve the intellect, yet can be sadly independent and distinct in their own way.
|
Patience sows the seeds of mastery, reaping the fruits of excellence. - Aloo Denish Obiero
|
Max Burchett, a writer, singer and songwriter, crooner, a teller of tales, a dream maker, soul shaker and captivator, hoping that in verse and prose he prevails
|
Strive for perfection along the road to excellence, avoiding the hazards of complacency and potholes of mediocrity.

- Horse, Winged
* A symbol of the Aspiring Higher Mind
"By the Winged Horse, Pegasus, the Ancients understood the intellect of the Truth by which Wisdom is Attained. By the hoofs of his feet, the experiences through which the natural intelligence comes" -Swedenborg

Our destinies are inseparable. As long as one child is being abused and suffering on earth, those tears will salt the pure streams of even heaven. And we will be compelled to taste and drink of them. We take with us, not only all that we did...but all that we did not.
|
Those to worry and the wise; compelled by sunrise... often fail or neglect, the horizons sunset.
|
Poetry is an excellent tool for communication, allowing people to connect on a deeper level and understand each other's experiences and perspectives.

You're not strong enough whispered the Devil to withstand life's storms and I yelled
back to him, thanks to God, I am the storm.
