very beautiful war poem conveying the beauty of simple life
"To achieve ultimate inner peace without having to first suffer ultimate outward devastation.
To choose to make where you are now your personal rock bottom before hitting actual rock bottom.
To choose to turn your life around before it is too late and there is no life left to turn around." says
to experience ultimate inner peace without having to endure ultimate external destruction.
should decide that, before reaching true rock bottom, where you are right now is your particular rock bottom.
should make the decision to change your life before it's too late and you run out of time to do so.

In several lines I thought you were talking about me and my situation and encouraging me at the same time. Thanks.

The end quote is quite true because we live a world where people realise things after its too late or impossible to change the situation. Rather than carrying that guilt whole life it's better to make good choices and turn your life accordingly

I like the sense of what it is; hopefully, you can define it for us. otherwise, I love the way it slowly develops interiority and essence. Bravo Scott

It seems that each line stands on its own. Stands among the forest of trees boldly identifying its definition of grace.
Thank you for a thoughtful, well-established stance on grace. And yet, the depth of grace is so great, so powerful that even these wonderful, reflective lines do not do justice to the meaning of grace....for me.
Thank you for allowing me a moment to ponder grace for myself. JM+

The line that touches my heart is to be brave not to fear because in life there will be so many uptacles we must be ready to face that problems without any fear .

This piece is so absolute and mostive. We can learn on how to live in this material world through the different choices we tend to choose and lead our lives. I really read this piece and have appreciated it.

My favorite line is: To love and forgive unconditionally but to trust intelligently.

Oh,to master that! It spoke to me.

This hit me at just the right time. Thank you for that. A friend recently told me in response to hearing about a pretty big hiccup in my life that I should give myself grace.

I am not one to readily critique writing, especially poetry. Perhaps it could be a bit tighter? Maybe, but also it struck me as the right length and I didn't notice a point where the pulse dragged.

The poem is simply understandable, irrespective of any hidden meaning. I love it and it can be read and understandable by many populations. Thank you
