Comment on Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string by mcisco

It’s not just about taking chances or being brave; read the first stanza. It is also concerning a child becoming a man and a man’s realization that his actions reverberate far past the point of decision.

Comment on The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep by Rachael

I think it’s beautiful. So beautiful. I am young. A teenager. Suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. I have been suicidal before. What the end of this poem means to me is that the woods are lovely and dark (the woods meaning death) but the promises being kept are staying alive to your loved ones and the miles you have to go is the journey ahead of you that will get better. Definitely made me sob.

This quote has given me the inner power and thrust to go forward and understand Rumi’s literature and Sufism.

Comment on It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish by Out with the Old, In with the New | Brendan Nagle

[...] I likely wouldn’t have done it at all. As Samwise Gamgee’s old gaffer used to say, “It’s the job that’s never started as takes the longest to finish”. Wise words. May this be a lesson for all of you as well… there’s never a wrong time to [...]

Comment on Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand and Eternity in an hour by Eric

Life sure is amazing. The first four lines of this poem especially bring that out. I work with the movement for indefinite life extension for just these reasons, for these notions brought out in these lines. Who could arrive here, see this, realize this and then not put up a fight as we slide back toward the abyss? I cant, I wont, I fight.

Comment on The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep by C. J.

I think that at first he is really just talking about those little moments when you stop and realize that time is passing. I am always so busy and rarely get to enjoy those moments where you can just stop and take it all in, think to yourself “time is passing”. And once you realize time is passing, it hits you that time is PASSING. I think that is where” the woods are lovely dark and deep” and so forth come in to play. He is realizing that. A lot of you i notice are older, I just turned 23 and this poem means a lot to me always has. I just reached a turning point in my life and am headed in a new direction. I have been in college doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons. Its like up until now I was just watching those woods and now I have realized that I have a promise to myself to do whatever I need to do to make myself happy and I have miles to go before I’m there and that those deep, dark, hypnotizing woods will always be there to distract me, but I will not give up or give in. And as for the miles to go before I sleep, I see as optimistic. I have my whole life ahead of me and I need to make the best of it before its too late.
