Brilliant, Imi. I always read your work first and listen to what it moves in me in silence. Then I go back and listen to the recording. And all of the words do a sommersalt. This took me back to my first semester in Spain 30 years ago when I saw the sunrise everyday. Almost.
This is such a thoughtful comment. Thank you so much for offering your presence so genuinely; it really means a lot to me. To know that my rhythm, my pacing, and my voice carried you back to such a vivid place in your memory is deeply moving. I’m grateful that the piece could create even a slight shift in atmosphere for you.🤍
This felt deeply familiar to me. That sense of something silenced for years suddenly spilling out, and the world looking unchanged but feeling entirely new. I really felt this. There’s so much release here without forcing resolution. Soft, honest, and quietly brave.
I love sharing these exchanges with you and I couldn’t be more grateful for the resonance. It means a lot to be recognised for my piece as presence rather than performance. Thank you so much for being here and engaging with my work so thoughtfully 🤍
You’re always on your A game, great work! I don’t interact or read as much as I should, but you’re one of my favorite people that I’ve found on here, I always think your work is spectacular. Did you sing that also?
This really made me smile. Thank you so much! And no, I did not sing, though I will take the curiosity as a compliment. The voicing belongs to AI but everything is a craft of mine.
I appreciate your presence here more than you know, whether you are quietly reading or stopping to say something kind. It means a lot to know I’m one of your favs🫶🏻
I am generally against posting AI generated content, but I don’t care if AI sang your song. It was great, and as long as the words came from you that’s what matters. Thanks for expressing your appreciation, I appreciate you! Have a good holiday!
Thank you, that genuinely means a lot. I really respect that perspective, and I appreciate you meeting the work where it is. The words are the heart of it for me, so hearing that they landed matters more than I can say.
Wishing you a beautiful holiday too, and thank you for the kindness. 🤍
The videos you’ve created really challenged me to see what I could do with my own writing beyond the page, beyond simple written Word documents. You’re blazing new ground, and it shows.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment Robert, truly. It means a lot for you to meet my work with such appreciation as a lot of effort went to it behind the scenes. Your kind words means more than I can say and I’m truly grateful to know that you’ve been enjoying my frame ♥️
Great piece with media experience. When transcoding it’s difficult to sync the eyes to the ears to the mind altogether. You did wonderful in constructing the scenes to match the poem. Helped my thought tune in more intimately 👏👏👏🎬
Thank you so much for taking the time to engage with this so attentively and with such care. It truly means a lot to have the effort behind it recognised. Matching the visuals, sound, and pacing was not easy, and it took most of my day to bring it together in between family visits and everything else. Knowing that it came through for you. makes that effort feel deeply worthwhile. I really appreciate your words.
I’m realizing your weight-lifting of life , writing, & interactions a lot more — it’s a gargantuan feat!
it’s not easy making magic out of ourselves, and has become a specific pursuit of mine: how to efficiently move through projects and process without losing vivid imagination to the blur.
We have to be speedy, thoughtful, and emotionally human all at once… your patience towards the craft is a great skill
I really loved this. The poem already holds so much, but the video and the song added another layer of movement and atmosphere that stayed with me. I am probably not the best judge when it comes to modern know how, but even so it is clear how much time and care must have gone into shaping it. The match between images words and music was perfect. I loved it.
Commenting on the lyrics, which is where I feel more comfortable. The images of memory being held, delayed, and then suddenly released are incredibly strong. The disposable camera waiting in plain sight, the looping stairs, the sense of something long silenced finally spilling out all at once. It captures that strange moment where the world looks unchanged, but the person inside it is not. As you write, “everything looked the same, yet nothing felt alike” and that line feels like the quiet truth the whole piece has been circling.
Thank you so much for reading it with this level of care. It means a great deal to know that the piece, and the layers around it, stayed with you in that way. I’m especially grateful for how attentively you engaged with the images and the emotional arc they carry.
That moment you describe, where the world remains unchanged but something inside has shifted, was at the heart of the writing for me. Knowing that it came through so clearly, and that the details held their weight for you, feels incredibly affirming.
I really appreciate the time and thought you gave this. It was a gift to read your response.
This is really lovely - soft, honest, and thoughtfully layered. This poem has a quiet, reflective strength. The disposable camera metaphor works beautifully, it captures memory, delay, and rediscovery with subtle clarity. The looping stairs and ribbon imagery convey emotional stagnation without heaviness, and the sunrise ending lands gently, showing change as something felt rather than seen.
Thank you so much, Dipti, for reading with such attentiveness and presence. Your reflection felt incredibly generous and precise. I loved how you articulated the emotional pacing of the piece, especially the way you named change as something felt rather than seen. That was exactly the quiet movement I was trying to hold. Knowing the metaphors and imagery met you with that kind of clarity means a great deal to me. I’m truly grateful for the care you brought to this reading.
Your work is delicate and layered, and it was easy to be attentive because every line invited careful listening. It’s wonderful to hear that the emotional pacing and imagery landed as you intended, your clarity and care shine through in the writing itself. Thank you for trusting me with it.
Thank you so much for being thoughtful and attentive. I really appreciate you Dipti, more than I can say. I’m grateful that you’re here and it’s a pleasure to trust you with my writing as you always engage with such presence and care.
This feels so quietly powerful—like memory and waking life blurring at the edges. The disposable camera image is perfect, and that sunrise ending lingered with me. Really beautiful work.
Thank you for such a thoughtful response. That space where memory and waking life blur is exactly what I was exploring. I’m so glad the image and the sunrise lingered with you. It means a great deal to know the piece stayed with you.
Really beautiful, both the written form and the video/audio.
As HVR said, it must of taken a lot of work and effort, but it has certainly been worth it.
Thank you so much Gary! It means a lot truly. Especially for you to recognise the effort and care behind it. I always appreciate you 🫶
