Poetry is the oldest of the arts. Long before there were written words, there were poems—spoken, sung, and remembered. It may even be one of the things that made us human according to historians way smarter than myself. The human brain just seems wired for rhythm, pattern, and story. Those ancient receptors feed the imagination and stir the emotions. In that way, poetry didn't just reflect culture—it helped *create* it. So, what exactly *is* poetry? Im not sure I want to open that debate here, but wonder how can something so ancient still feel so immediate? Let me offer ten observations that might help us see what makes poetry different from any other form of language. First, poetry is universal. You can go anywhere on the planet, in any century, and find itid speculate it may be—because there is no society without poetry. It is a language of the human soul, expressed in infinite tongues. Second, it's our oldest art form. Before brushes, before clay, poetry used the body itself—the voice, the ear, the heartbeat. Movement, and community. Ancient peoples shaped their words to be remembered, because they had no other way to keep their stories alive. Third, poetry was born an oral art. It was speech made musical—organized through rhythm and repetition so that memory could hold it. You could say poetry was the very first memory technology. Fourth, poetry is performative. In pre-literate cultures, it lived in rhythm and motion—sung, chanted, and danced. It wasn't meant to sit on a page; it was meant to live in the air. Fifth, poetry is mnemonic. Rhyme and meter weren't just about beauty—they were survival tools. When people recited their myths, their laws, their wisdom, they did it in verse because verse could be remembered word-for-word, generation after generation. Sixth, poetry is evocative. It doesn't instruct by argument but by enchantment. The music of its words lowers our defenses, stirs the imagination, and opens doors in the memory we didn't know were there. Seventh, poetry is formal. The very shape and rhythm of a poem signal that this is *special* speech—set apart from everyday talk. Even when we read free verse, its visual and rhythmic choices still announce: this language asks for your attention. Eighth, poetry is sacred. In its earliest forms, it was used to speak to the divine—to praise, to mourn, to invoke, to remember. Poets were priests and priestesses, shamans and prophets. Even now, poets like Whitman or Blake seek vision and revelation through the line and the breath. Ninth, poetry is magical. Long before science, people believed words could change the world, and in a way, they still can. A love poem is a spell to move the beloved's heart. An elegy calls the dead back into memory. Even a satire can shrink its target down to human size. Poetry transforms perception—that's its power and its charm. And lastly—tenth—poetry civilizes. From Orpheus in Greek myth to the epics of Homer, to the Psalms, the Quran, the Vedas, the book of Kings—civilizations have risen around poetic memory. Nations find themselves through their poets. A tribe becomes a people when it begins to sing its story. So what, then, is poetry? Simply put, poetry is a special way of speaking that invites a special way of listening. It is an art of language that carries meaning not only in what is said but in *how* it sounds, how it moves, and how it makes us feel. ...In the end, poetry exists to delight, to instruct, to console, and to commemorate. It wakes us up—to life, to loss, to wonder, to each other. That, I believe, is the enduring purpose of poetry: to change, in small but meaningful ways, the way we live. https://bit.ly/CafeSyDCommunityhttps://bit.ly/SyD-PODPodcast https://bit.ly/SyD-TVYouTube

“Empaths With Few or No Friends: Why Empaths Feel Alone”**In my hippity hop personal journey, down my recovery lane... Ive identified that alot of my anxious youth and rebellious nature was due to an extreme level of empathic behavior and patterns. Dare I say instincts gone awry.You know, I've been thinking a lot about this — and similar like, how many empaths or deeply sensitive people end up walking through life with few or no close friends? And not because they don't *want* connection, but because connection hasn't always felt *safe*. We've got this cultural idea that being social equals being healthy… that if you're spending time alone, something must be wrong. But for a lot of empaths, loneliness isn't a symptom of brokenness — it's actually a form of *protection*. You're not avoiding people… you're avoiding pain.*********************************************************This video explores the nuances of human connection, focusing on the experience of "spiritual isolation" and what it means for "empath psychology". We look at the interplay of "empathy" and the challenges faced by a "highly sensitive person" in navigating social landscapes, often leading to "solitude psychology".*************************************************************TOOLS AND EDUCATION WE USE TO MAINTAIN:BLOOM HEMP FOR cbd AND HEALTHY BALANCE:https://bloomhemp.com/ref/jackEDUCATION AND FREE CARE PLANS FROM:https://holisticcaring.com/ref/Jack/https://bit.ly/CafeSyDCommunityhttps://bit.ly/SyD-PODPodcast https://bit.ly/SyD-TVYouTubemade with:https://bit.ly/HYPER-SyDThis video explores the nuances of human connection, focusing on the experience of "spiritual isolation" and what it means for "empath psychology".

This Poem Was More Dangerous Than A WeaponWhat if I told you that in an age of firehoses and firearms, one of the most feared weapons wasn't a gun... but a poem? At a time when anger was boiling over and cities were on fire, the biggest force for change wasn't always a politician or a protest group. Sometimes, it was just a rhythm, a voice, a verse. This is the story of how poets wielded words as weapons, and how one poem in particular became an anthem for a generation that refused to be silent.https://bit.ly/CafeSyDCommunityhttps://bit.ly/SyD-PODPodcast https://bit.ly/SyD-TVYouTube#poetry,#poem,#poet,#podcast,#video,#art,#books,#literature,#poetry,#poets,#socialyetdistanced

God Speaks to Spiritually Awakened People Through Addiction | Inspired by Alan WattsAddiction, rather than being a mere error or moral failure, may hold within it a deeper message — one whispered from the divine to the human soul. It invites us to look beyond condemnation and see addiction as a form of misplaced longing, a distorted reflection of an innate spiritual hunger.#spiritualawakening #addiction #alanwatts #consciousness #healing #meditation #purpose #mindfulness #selfimprovement #wisdom In this video, we explore the often-misunderstood concept of addiction, reframing it not as a fault but as potential inner guidance. We discuss how understanding addiction awareness and working towards addiction recovery can lead to significant personal growth. This perspective encourages emotional healing and focuses on spiritual health, suggesting that cravings might be a form of communication from a higher power.https://bit.ly/SyDCafeCommunityhttps://bit.ly/SocialYetDistancedPodcast https://bit.ly/SociaYetDistancedlVidsYouTubeALL CONTACT POINTS:https://bit.ly/AllSyDLIKE-SUB-COMMENT-SHAREAs always, health maintained by BLOOM and Holistic Caring-https://bloomhemp.com/ref/Jack/https://holisticcaring.com/ref/Jack/ made with:https://bit.ly/HYPER-SyD#podcast #video #art #books #literature #poetry #poets #socialyetdistanced #poetry #poem #poet

The Hidden Impact of PTSD on Law Enforcement and Community SafetyI'm prone to conspiracy theories in my own mind, though in many cases they reveal a hint of prescience. My background in mental health, and addiction has made me wonder for quite some time if the uptick in violence at the hands of law enforcement is directly related possibly to untreated PTSD, especially combat related in the cops themselves. So I did a little research. Here is a condensed sampling of what I learned.I love when I'm kind of right with no expertise!!! (disclaimer)PTSD, Law Enforcement, and the Use of ForceCombat-related PTSD is not just a military issue—it has lasting consequences within policing. For many officers, whether their trauma stems from combat service or years of exposure to violence on the job, PTSD symptoms have a profound impact on both their mental health and their interactions with the public. Symptoms like hypervigilance, irritability, impaired decision-making, and emotional numbing can make officers far more likely to perceive danger where there is none, and to react with excessive or inappropriate use of force in high-pressure situations.PTSD and Policing Research shows a strong association between PTSD symptoms and abusive policing practices—even when other trauma exposures are accounted for. Hypervigilance, for example, magnifies threat detection, causing officers to misjudge harmless behavior as threatening. And when combat veterans carry PTSD into their law enforcement careers, the risks rise even further. Cumulative trauma only makes miscalculation and escalation more likely. The Mental Health and Stigma Barrier Despite the risks, many officers avoid seeking help. Stigma, fears over job security, or concerns about being sidelined prevent them from ever accessing treatment. Left untreated, PTSD leads to burnout, substance misuse, impaired judgment, and aggression—conditions that not only harm officers themselves, but put communities at greater risk. Breaking this cycle requires trauma-informed policies, accessible mental health services, and a cultural shift in policing—one that values wellness checks, peer support, and early treatment just as much as tactical readiness. Practical Consequences When PTSD goes unaddressed, the stakes are high: more violent encounters, more community mistrust, and more shattered lives—on both sides of the badge. But with comprehensive mental health support, evidence-based therapies, and stress management training, officers can regain balance in their decision-making, reduce aggressive responses, and protect both themselves and the public. Border Patrol and ICE Context Border Patrol and ICE officers face the same PTSD-related risks, but in uniquely challenging environments. Remote patrols, exposure to humanitarian crises, and the moral stress of immigration enforcement all add layers of trauma. These stressors heighten hypervigilance and emotional dysregulation, increasing the risk of deadly force in contested situations. Yet, mental health support and transparent accountability within these agencies remain limited. Without reform, PTSD not only undermines officer well-being—it fuels the cycle of violence at the border. Combat-related PTSD is more than a personal struggle—it's a public safety i...If you find yourself having issues navigating today's world, look for help.

Welcome, poets! I'm Jack Varnell—your creative guide for you today. I make no claims to being an academic or expert, nor do I always do what I suggest . in any event, Let's talk about an underrated skill: how to actually read poetry .Can Being Humble Make You Smarter? How to Actually Read Poetry .Many poets from Billy Collins to Patti Smith have said the only way to become a better poet is to read more poetry. I agree. But it is informative to go beyond just enjoying poems—a not so secret weapon is to read like a writer. Study a book's craft and style. Listen to its voice.Read with intention. Notice the uses of form, pacing, and even the empty spaces on the page.Ask yourself: what can I learn about form, voice, and structure?When picking up a poetry book, I don't just read the summary and move on. I always notice the publisher—indie presses have their own vibes. Smaller yet powerful presses offering fine examples of this include Punk Hostage Press, Poetry Bus from the UK, and Collapse Press. Dig deeper than Amazon or Goodreads recomendations. A review of the authors and guests of Social Yet Distanced will also reveal a selection of similar minded presses, poets, and artists. See the world through their eyes. We are not talking Penguin, Simon OR Schuster. When you scan the book, I suggest you note for layout, spacing, and typography. Is the design inviting? is your cortec tingled? Does the flow , flow?Do the poems stretch across pages or play with white space? Are there forms or visual twists that grab your attention?Blurbs are helpful, but don't let them decide for you. They're one person's opinion—trust your own taste. Look for excerpted poems - (broadsides) - or sample pieces online. Look for poem releases in print or web based outlets, and follow your favorite poets, artists, writers as well as the piblishers you gravitate to. These excerpts, book releases and podcast appearances usually highlight the book's energy.When browsing for something new, my go to tactic is to read the first poem, the last poem, and then sample something from the middle. It helps me get the book's rhythm and see if it fits what I'm searching for.Honestly for me, it's as much the vibe as anything else, but I tend to come at things in a less than academic fashion....Covers tell their own story—colors, imagery, symbolism. I love finding hints of what's inside just from design.How do you decide which books to bring home from the bookstore? I'd love to hear your approach in the comments. Let's all keep reading like writers and learn together.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and join my Social Yet Distanced for more craft tips and over one hundred examples. Until next time—keep those pages turning and the ideas flowing with poems springing forth !!!https://bit.ly/SyDCafeCommunityhttps://bit.ly/SocialYetDistancedPodcast https://bit.ly/SociaYetDistancedlVidsYouTube

“Unlock the Power of Cannabinoids” Hi, Jack Varnell from the Social Yet Distanced Podcast... You may remember this from past episodes, but did you know your body has an entire system designed just to interact with cannabis?It's called the Endocannabinoid System—and it helps regulate everything from stress and sleep to pain, mood, and inflammation. We have mentioned it previously, as the keys and locks and traffic cop for balance and healing.When it's out of balance? You feel it. Fatigue, anxiety, chronic pain—it all gets worse.But here's the good news: The separate components of the cannabis provide necessary balance building by using Phytocannabinoids from hemp and cannabis—components like CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBC—can help restore that balance. They mimic your body's own cannabinoids and get your system back on track.Remember, not all CBD is the same.

We take a lot of pride in standing up for the people . As a member of the Americans for Safe Access., through My Partnership with BLOOM Hemp, we joined Americans for Safe Access and other patient advocacy groups in signing a joint letter to Congress—calling on them to restore critical protections for medical cannabis patients and providers in the Department of Justice budget.And you know what? Our voices made a difference. The House has now included language to protect state-legal medical cannabis programs from federal interference. That's a major step forward—a win for patients, providers, and everyone who believes in science-based, compassionate care.But let's be clear: the fight's not over.We joined this effort because patients deserve protection. Nurses should be able to care for them—without fear. DOJ budget decisions? They don't exist in a vacuum. They impact real people. They affect access, safety, and a nurse's ability to provide evidence-informed cannabis care.Here's what's at stake.Yes, the Rohrabacher–Farr amendment was added back in.There's a provision allowing the DOJ to enforce 21 U.S.C. 860—and that means double penalties for cannabis-related activity near schools, playgrounds, youth centers, and other community spaces. Even if those activities are completely legal under state law!The bill also tries to block efforts to reschedule marijuana. To stop federal agencies from re-evaluating cannabis policy based on current science and public health data.So here's what we need from you:Stay alert. Follow us, follow our partners like Americans for Safe Access. Know what's happening. Be ready—we may call on you soon. To speak out, raise your voice. Push the Senate to do better.Thank you for being part of this fight.The Win—Celebrate ProgressWe recently joined Americans for Safe Access and other advocates in urging Congress to restore key protections for medical cannabis. Our collective voice worked!!! The ThreatThe fight isn't over. Despite restoring protections, the bill still includes serious threats:- A provision allowing the DOJ to double penalties for cannabis activity near schools or community centers—even when all state laws are followed.- This puts providers and businesses at risk of raids or shutdowns, harming patients who depend on them.- Another section blocks federal efforts to reschedule marijuana, stalling progress in cannabis policy and science.What's at StakeThis isn't just policy—it's about patients and nurses. We can't let fear or outdated laws limit access or care.Here's how you can help:- Stay informed—follow us and groups like Americans for Safe Access.- Be ready to raise your voice. We may need your support soon to urge the Senate to fix these harmful provisions.I've included all links fore more info from Holistic Caring, Bloom Hemp and The Green Nurse on Substack.

I guess that's a lot like life.—Chris DusterhoffDo you like energy drinks and ass? Do you have anxiety?If the answer is “No”, then it'll turn into a “Yes” after reading “Everything Must Go”. Dan's open and honest no-holds-barred style of writing is a kick in the teeth. “You could use the taste of cement. Might rattle you back to yourself.”—Michael E. DuckwallI've been happy to publish Dan Flore's work on Open Arts Forum for the better part of 5 years, and this collection of short fiction amply demonstrates why. From the insanity of navigating bureaucracy to the surrealism of existential dread, Flore's tales offer a satirical mirror reflecting the absurdity of our reality. Prepare to laugh, cringe, and contemplate the fine line between madness and sanity in this mesmerizing journey through the mind of a master storyteller.—Jay Dougherty, editor and publisherOpenArtsForum.comDan Flore III is a biographer of the transience of moments.

Welcome to “Bob Dylan: A Journey Through Creativity” exploring the depths of artistic creativity through the lens of one of the most enigmatic figures in music history. I'm your host, Jack Varnell. I'm not a poetry, lit, or even Dylan afficianado, but I am a fan of all. My goal is to point you to something you might want more of... Let's delve into the wellsprings of creativity and unravel the mysteries behind Bob Dylan's enduring legacy. Todays episode supported by Holistic Caring and The Green Nurse. They are a source of healing and are doing great things to "Change The Paradigm of Medicine" Please check their info in the description. Tell them some poet dude in a kilt sent you ! Bob Dylan, the voice of a generation, vanished from the spotlight only to return stronger than ever. His career spans decades, marked by reinvention, introspection, and unyielding creativity. Even today, he continues to captivate audiences worldwide, leaving us to ponder the source of his timeless genius. There is a testament to the interplay between the artist and the times., Dylans early success coincided with a tumultuous era of social upheaval, where his music served as a mirror reflecting the hopes and fears of an entire generation. From civil rights to anti-war protests, Dylan's lyrics resonated deeply with the cultural zeitgeist, demonstrating how creativity is shaped by the world around us. I agree but my question is what about the notion of “love and theft” in creativity? In Dylan's work? Dylan's masterful ability to draw from a multitude of influences, from folk to blues to literature, highlights the symbiotic relationship between inspiration and innovation. Far from plagiarism, his words is a voice to the transformative power of synthesis, where diverse traditions converge to create something entirely new. Ther is nothing much to be heard or read more poetically than Bob Dylans. Yet, of course the muse is fickle, and creativity ebbs and flows like the tides. Dylan's career is punctuated by periods of immense productivity followed by moments of reflection and reinvention. This natural cycle underscores the complexities of the creative process, where downtime is as essential as inspiration in birthing new ideas. The artists interpretation from this vary. Dylan writes in a succinct tone, to the point. I might whine like Morrissey. So, what explains Dylan's longevity? It's his willingness to evolve, to challenge conventions, and to embrace change. From folk to rock to country, Dylan's musical journey mirrors the ever-changing landscape of artistic expression. His authenticity and enigmatic persona have kept audiences captivated, while his willingness to take risks has ensured his relevance across generations. As we navigate a world saturated with commercialism and homogeneity, Dylan's artistry serves as a beacon of authenticity and depth. His lyrics, steeped in symbolism and cultural references, invite us to explore the depths of human experience. In an age of sameness, Dylan's work reminds us that true creativity knows no bounds, transcending genres and defying expectations. Join us next time as we continue to unravel the mysteries of Bob Dylan's ongoing journey. Until then, keep exploring, keep creating, and keep embracing the power of artistic expression.

Poetry and Traditional Therapy: Complementary PathsBoth poetry and traditional therapy offer distinct avenues for emotional healing. Poetry provides a creative outlet, allowing individuals to express intense emotions through metaphor and symbolism. It offers structure, helping to contain chaotic feelings. In contrast, traditional therapy provides a guided environment with direct feedback and support from therapists. #poetry,#poem,#poet,#podcast, #video,#art,#books,#literature, #poetry,#poets,#socialyetdistanced --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialyetdistanced/support

-Assured- By Jack Varnell · 05/10/2011 in the dark forest she is far above the ground. she feels the lift and fall of walking but feels comfortably paralyzed. beneath her, the shoulders of a man one who would carry her for miles and years. when she is weightless, or heavy with doubt. he is as unsteady as a leaf in the wind. she, like a feather floating, or on the crest of a round stoned river. she knows he will fall. because she is above him, she will fall further. it makes no difference. because the night holds up all around them. like great fields of poppies, or fluffy teddy bears worn from time https://bit.ly/SyDCafe Community https://bit.ly/SocialYetDistanced Podcast https://bit.ly/SydVid YouTube #poetry,#poem,#poet,#podcast,#video,#art,#books,#literature,#poetry,#poets,#socialyetdistanced --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialyetdistanced/support
