As a young man, I felt the pull of a higher calling. I knew that my vocation was to help others, to make a difference in the world. I was filled with a sense of purpose, and a burning desire to do something meaningful with my life. And so I set out on a journey, a quest to find my place in the world.

My journey took me to many places, both physical and spiritual. I studied, I learned, and I grew. I became more and more convinced that my true calling was to join a crusade, a movement dedicated to making the world a better place.

And so I threw myself into the cause, devoting my life to fighting for justice and equality. I marched, I protested, and I spoke out against injustice wherever I found it. I felt that I was making a difference, that I was living up to my calling.

But as the years went by, I began to feel a sense of disillusionment. The crusade seemed to be going nowhere, and I began to wonder if all of my efforts were in vain. Was this really my true vocation? Was I really making a difference, or was I just tilting at windmills?

And so I took a step back and began to reflect on my journey. I realized that the problem wasn't with the crusade itself, but with my own approach. I had been so focused on the goal that I had lost sight of the journey.

I realized that the journey was just as important as the destination. It was the people I met, the experiences I had, and the lessons I learned along the way that truly mattered. I began to see my vocation in a new light, as a lifelong journey of discovery and growth.

And so I continue on my journey, no longer driven by a sense of crusade or a need to save the world, but simply by a desire to be the best version of myself that I can be. And in doing so, I have found a new sense of purpose and meaning, a true vocation that will guide me for the rest of my journey.

Dancer's Flight

"In the spotl͏ight's embrace, a dancer takes fl͏ight w͏ith the cl͏ick of her heels, weav͏ing a graceful dream on the stage." In response to dVerse Poetry Form: Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana For today’s poetry form, we are writing to the Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana which carries a fast staccato rhythm. It is a variation of the Seguidilla, which was discussed here, including the definition of assonance. The elements of the Flamenca are: *stanzaic, can be written in any number of quintains. *syllabic, 6-6-5-6-6 syllables per line to imitate the rapid click of the heels of a dancer. *Line 2 and Line 5 assonate. (same vowel sounds) Teatros del Canal, Madrid, Spain Heels clicking, swift delight, On the stage, she takes flight. In spotlight's soft gleam, Her dance, a graceful dream, Grace in each step's invite. V͏is͏it͏ing Teatros del Canal ͏in Madr͏id, Spa͏in, for a flamenco performance was an exper͏ience I'll treasure forever. As I entered the elegant theater, th

Window Gazing

"A poem reflecting on what we see from our windows and what we wish we could see." In response to Poetics: Window Gazing Through my window, I see the world, A picture of life unfurled, The hustle and bustle of the street, A never-ending, restless beat. I see the sun shining, the clouds drifting, The leaves swaying, the flowers blooming, But beyond this, I wish to see, A world where love and kindness are key. I wish to see a world where people care, Where no one is left out to despair, Where hope and joy are found in every heart, And every soul plays a positive part. I wish to see a world where nature thrives, Where the oceans are clean and the forests alive, Where the air is pure, and the sky is blue, And the beauty of the earth shines through. Perhaps it's not the view that needs to change, But rather the lens through which I arrange, My thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, To find the beauty in life's extremes. So through my window, I'll keep looking out, An
