I just found you today on YouTube doin your “Pursue Your Passion” poem. Your words, your cadence, your delivery they all hit me like a ton a bricks.

A powerful message indeed and a delivery to match.

Thank you.

Still, as I scanned your posts I saw your video caption…

“I no longer write about depression”

…those words were like having a friend touching me on the shoulder and saying “I know, I know and it really is okay, you made it, you are here”.

If you words mean any close to what they mean for me, you will understand what I just said and you understand I’ve lived those words and like you I too have come to notice I no longer need to go there.

Again, thank you.

Finally, I started to watch the video and could not get past the opening for reasons that many may not understand or agree with or even take offense.

Still, while there is a passion that is undeniably part of the song Amazing Grace I will not accept that I am less, that I am not pefect as I am, that I am not deserving as I am. Nor will I accept that in others.

There are far to many people who have lived a life where everything around did one thing very well…

It removed their sense of self, their sense of value and their sense of worth and in so doing their truth has been burried by a need, a need built on conditioning. A need to completed by something external to them.

It starts with YOU! Our truth is within, our choice is guaranteed, our life is ours alone. No one take our choice from us without our permission.

I understand the song means different things to others. Yet, as poignant as you poem is so too is the feeling I experience when I hear Amazing Grace.

I am whole as I am and I see the same in others. It is a choice an observation, it is something I have experienced and as you know choice, experience and awareness are very powerful things.

Thank you sharing,

James
