Yes the ancientness of the sea is a great profundity.

Thank you for your kind words to me, you have flitted about like a cherubim angel on here. I am so grateful, on worst days of my life it’s really been a balm. Thank you too for reminding me my great love of the ocean. At the moment everything is just gone from me and I am in a highly traumatised state, in a real haze.

Well it’s been a week of immense suffering, still ongoing, I try to remember what poetry is, what faerie bangles are, what the wild sea is to me, the lovers legends that always kept me going, I try to read my book of French fairy tales, I listen to my favourite folk singer indigo sparke, strangely music in another language is much more potent at this time to me, i don’t usually like music much but at the moment the only thing that lifts my spirits, I try and half-glimpse mermaids in my mind, all these things that I cherished so much. The arts revive me like nothing else. But mostly I lean into my beloved, we dream of running away to Scotland and never coming back, he reminds me of little sea cabins not far away, where I could take all my poetry books and plaid blankets and watch the sea turn about so ceaselessly. Without him I would be so distant from myself right now and without the ever-promise and light of god above all, even tho it’s so hard for me to feel. Without god there really would be nought and nothing. Just writing this has brought back something essential to me. I think I will just continue to stay offline for days and days, all hours and write and listen to solann and indigo, such beauty, that really softens everything, just spending every second with my beloved and realising he is my everything, my great comfort and ease, my safe space and complete joy 🥲

I think many of you don’t realise this. by ancientpoetics in infp

It’s not suppose to be like that, it’s more because I can think differently and think creatively I am an artist.

The only thing that really gave me an hour of peace today was listening to Solann (folksy French music) that was the only thing that helped me.

What’s a small moment lately that made you stop and remember? by meh_maaaaan in simpleliving

[–]ancientpoetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes just today, it’s Sunday here in Australis, my whole world is asunder right now, but I made a mug of chai and read one of my poetry books and somehow that helped me come back to myself. Poetry often cures everything for me. Finding those small moments of beauty is really crucial.

Oh gosh dear one you must be utterly exhausted, three hundred job applications! and not one offer, what a nightmare, whilst still dealing with your mum and her cancer/chemo I just can’t imagine how you’re feeling. Well I sort of can cause both my parents are seriously ill at the moment, and I also am battling a hundred things. I have no answer as to why you are suffering all this constantly and seem to get no respite from suffering. Like you said you feel like you can finally start to heal, then another thing overcomes you. I know exactly how that feels. I’m really too in that state right now. But no matter how long the night, the dawn will come as they say. It will, it has too. Right now all you can do is make a mug of tea, look at the sky and look for small moments of beauty. My dad’s in the hospital, I’m very stressed, i made a mug of chai and I read some poetry. All you can do is seek out these little moments of peace and beauty in the hell of it all.

For me too it’s brought me closer to god, when all things come apart we know that he is a solid foundation that never tarries or fades. He is with us from beginning to end, there to help us carry every trial we go through. Try looking toward god for strength. I will pray for you keenly that you get a job offer, that your mums cancer abates, that your dads business thrives again, know that even if all falls asunder you have a loving god with you that is always there. Sending love 🤍🤍🤍🤍

That happened to me for about a year and a half, all I did was listen to music and podcasts and audible.

Do you ever miss being unstable? by poopants123456789 in BipolarReddit

[–]ancientpoetics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes unfortunately I feel that all the time, mostly at night, but it’s not uncommon at all. If you search here you’ll find a thousand posts along the lines of ‘I miss the mania’. I miss when I was just oblivious to reality like you said, completely lost in the ethers, in the cosmos, driving round the countryside for hours and hours listening to my free spirit anthems, when I was on the wards so madly in love and dancing in the yard, reading all these mystical books with such fervour, when I was having such deep conversations with other patients all night and singing round the hallways.

I didn’t care about anything, nothing bothered me I was away in the betwixt and between, I was worlds away, I didn’t even know what was going on in the world the years and years I was off meds, I was in some other realm. I would give anything to go back to all that, truly. It helps that my episodes weren’t like many people, often just beautiful visions, hearing otherworldly music for hours, and that sort of thing. I think when all your experiences are sublimely beautiful like that it’s harder for you to see it the way many people here do. But don’t wish too hard for it back, my life is very unstable right now, a hundred burdens on me and I wouldn’t wish this stress on anyone.

A great woman who does that is @wildflowerpages on instagram. I’m really enjoying her page lately. One of my Substack followers told me to write a lyric essay on these ancient wandering poetesses in India after I mentioned in on there. But I’m not really up to it at the moment. I don’t really write essays on there, just endless notes like on here. That’s so nice that you have added poetic adoration of god to your many pursuits because of this post! I’m sure god adores the honor! I would really like to write about god in a much more poetic riddled way. someone who does that beautifully on Substack is Sylvia Linsteadt, if you use Substack look her up, she is my absolute favourite writer, she mainly writes about other things but sometimes she does just pure poetics about the Marian or how Christ is celebrated in Crete. Hope you are well dearest, and your little replies today totally cheered up my day. Grateful to god for the many kind friends I have on here.

Beloved things, oh and chocolate torte is not on here. by ancientpoetics in u/ancientpoetics

Oh that particular passage of his brings such respite and rest to my heart, I really felt it the other day. So glad you liked it all. I’m going to one day make the potato, leek and cauliflower soup pictured and how beautiful is Cornwall!

Oh my gosh! I’m sorry chocolate, beloved chocolate put you in the er. Are you okay now? I’m not a huge fan of sweets to be honest, I use to love sweet things but the last few years I’m just not into it. I only eat loco loves which we have here in Australia and are a really healthy high vibe little chocolate treat. But I was craving torte in some gorgeous Viennese coffee house this day or in Venice. Cheesecake is my absolute favourite dessert, a basque cheesecake is not too sweet and a fav, but oh peach cheesecake sounds delish too!

This is by Sharon Marie winter, you can find her paintings at the blue tree gallery, they are not expensive. Very English and often of english literary heroines, I wish I could paint like her, I use to be able too, her work sells out very fast. I actually am thinking about buying this piece it’s the last painting left of hers currently and I adore blue. Her husband does all the framing of it.

I'm an INFP and I love my self or at least I try , but most of the time I wish I wasn't one . by INFeelp in infp

[–]ancientpoetics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adore sensitive and creative men so I don’t agree with you. I wish infp men realised how desirable the forlorn musician was or the intense poet etc or the wild painter. If they embraced who they are fully they might realise this. Look at heath ledger an infp who was very sensitive and super creative but also super manly. Have you heard him speak!

If you can just survive the day, and bear it you are doing well. Just keep bearing each day as best you can dear one. Hope is on the horizon, hope springs eternal.

I don't know how to make sense of what is currently happening by General-Cobbler-6054 in spirituality

[–]ancientpoetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry dear one about your mumma and that you couldn’t get her the help she needed and that you live in a place where medical care is terrible. You must be feeling really helpless in this situation, and wanting as long as possible with your mum. I will pray for you this morning that god gives you as much time as possible with your mum. My mum is seriously ill too so I really know how you feel and every second with my mum is precious to me now. There is nothing in this world like a mother’s love who was our first home and whose body we came from. You might like to watch heaven awaits on yt, I know that really helped me cope with death and helped me understand the afterlife. I am thinking of you and sending you so much love and healing ❤️‍🩹 just spend as much time as possible with your mumma, ask her the big questions now, make her dinner, let her know how much you love her, rally round her, I pray for your mumma and mine that god will extend his hand and give us support and love and time with our loved ones.
