Beautiful poems all, Josie. Now I'd like to try an experiment. I looked at each of your poems in turn, ignoring the original prompt. I tried to feel my deepest response to each and find one word that best expressed that response. So here is my list.

1. Channels

2. Awareness,

3. Surrendor,

4. Will,

5. Path,

6. Journey,

7. Practice,

8. Upaya,

9. Harmony,

10. Splendour

So from original prompt to poem to response. From one to many to one. "All things return to the one"

Thank you, Marguerite, Diamonds of life’s essence is a poem in itself.

Interesting language and interpretations. One of the most useful things I heard was simply dropped in discussion: “Show not tell”.👍😺
