I agree with Baskhar(sp?)
Taking chances is always hard to do. By the way, love these quotes before the poem!

This one stands out ... "My globe seemed to be a speck on my horizon"
As I paced further away from my rooted spot
I was amazed to see how far I had got
My globe seemed to be a speck on my horizon

That's me. Crack the shell and go outside to explore. So very well written, my friend. I just loved that poem. As for Miami: first of all, thanks for reading enjoying. It will be my pleasure to give you any advice you wish if you make it here next year. Just holler!

Stepping beyond our comfortable “barriers” is not always easy to do but, as your poems points out, our globe is a mere speck. We might as well see what’s beyond. A wonderful poem, Mariaki!

it is easy to be rooted in our comfortable bubbles, isn't it? Love this poem, my friend, it says what so many of us have been through and what many others should

Great message conveyed. A cocooned existence is a waste really because it stunts our growth, physically, mentally and spiritually.
