"A century of thought burdens my fingers and bargains with my tongue"

Love this depiction of the burden of the centuries bargaining with the tongue to come to the surface.

Love the image of running barefoot, only the sound of the loon. Wow.

Beautiful. Your detailed descriptions are so inviting, so tempting. I can feel those blades of grass and that last line, "sleepwalking amongst the grace." That's where I want to be.

Beautiful! I love walking barefoot on grass except when I step on a snake. I did this last week in my yard. 😬

This ...."I find myself overwhelmed with the affair—consummated with generations of remembering."... captures a familiar experience.

"sleepwalking amongst the grace." sounds like a promising solution to the dilemma.

Thank you, Veronika. Yes, I find in writing I repeat some things and it can be frustrating—but there’s a reason for that I think, and yes for sure, a promising solution! Meanwhile, I will be excited to see your new writing when you get back at it!

I am an outsider upon the flesh of the Earth, a gypsy amongst the congregation and vanish within the revelation.

This!!!!!! I've never seen existence more perfectly described! Bravo, Jess!
