Hi Ivan,

Today’s was very touching, the intimacy of the washer room and her washer gatherer Godess!

Also it was impressive to see all the countries from which people read your Poetry Blog.

If I may ask in what country do you reside Ivan?

Peace and Love to all!

Oh Ivan,
This is an absolute delight. Humbling and loving.
I could certainly do with a few more totally giving acts - from me, I mean, not to me.
Thank you for these exquisite little gems.

Thank you, Ivan, for sending this most stunning ecstatic Embodied poetry!

Janabai who sees the Divine as mirroring herself and She the Divine,
and then the poem by Bibi Hayati who is a divine mirror herself:

“I thank you one hundred times! In the altar
Of Hayati’s eyes, your face shines
Forever present and beautiful.”

Keep sending us these fine poems! Best to you, Ivan!
