- OPINION: QUESTIONING CURRENT KNOWLEDGEIn General Discussion·November 17, 2023Current "knowledge" should never be thought of as beyond challenge. This acceptance of questioning orthodoxy as a valid intellectual or scientific pursuit, however, should not be presumed to imply that current knowledge is wrong, incorrect, or outdated. Challenges to knowledge sometimes may improve, strengthen, or prove the authenticity and validity of that knowledge. Learning in what ways knowledge, or even belief, may be challenged, or accepted, can lead to a better understanding of why and how we believe or understand, and how to defend and fit them more perfectly into our lives. • Donovan Baldwin113
- Joyous SongIn Poetry·November 16, 2023In solitude I contemplate The sounds I hear and feel A crow caws, coos, and rattles A top a neighboring tree I wonder what it’s saying And why it insistently calls As if seeking its murder Perhaps just perfecting its song Then joins a barking distant dog To which mine joins along And suddenly the quiet day Breaks into joyous song127

- Love AwaitsIn Poetry·November 14, 2023How can I tell this tale In ways that make it clear When its not clear yet to me But I know love awaits When yet a girl I fell in love Exciting, enticing Spicy love A real gift from above In retrospect this love of mine May have been one-sided I since learned dear Dad of mine Saw this but kept it quiet I wish he’d told me what he saw How he wished for me much more His special girl should be a queen Not just an object to be demeaned Across the land, plains and hills There comes a love for me anew At long last someone with whom to share Poetry and love and happiness117
- The Longings of My SoulIn Poetry·November 14, 2023My brain is in overdrive Rivved and firing fully Creating beauty everywhere Spreading light and love My passions are escaping The confines where they enprisoned strangled Emerging into the light Many thoughts and feelings Swirling like subway cars Passing from brain to body And back again Such is the power of poetry Creating powerful images Passed like invisible touches From one soul to another Never again into darkness Will i subject my dreams But like nectar they quench The longings of my soul113
