Bloom for Yourself
Introduction
Bloom for Yourself is a book of poetry that explores the questions that are often posed with the greatest urgency in our lives: Who am I? How do I know what’s true for me? What can I do to feel more alive and at peace with myself? The poems in this collection offer guidance as well as comfort, offering insight into how we can cultivate a more conscious relationship with life. They show us how to open up to ourselves—how easy it is when we stop hiding from ourselves and start being honest about who we are.
Bloom for Yourself کتابی شعر است که به بررسی سوالاتی می پردازد که اغلب با بیشترین فوریت در زندگی ما مطرح می شوند: من کی هستم؟ چگونه بفهمم چه چیزی برای من صادق است؟ چه کاری می توانم انجام دهم تا با خودم احساس سرزندگی و آرامش بیشتری داشته باشم؟ اشعار این مجموعه راهنمایی و همچنین آرامش را ارائه می دهد و بینشی را در مورد چگونگی ایجاد رابطه آگاهانه تر با زندگی ارائه می دهد. آنها به ما نشان میدهند که چگونه به روی خودمان باز شویم – چقدر آسان است وقتی از خودمان پنهان نمیشویم و شروع میکنیم به اینکه چه کسی هستیم صادق باشیم.
The poet is a radical observer.
You are not only a poet. You are a radical observer. Poetry is a way of seeing the world, or, it is a way of seeing yourself in the world. It is this act of looking at things differently that makes you unique and valuable as an artist, but also as a person who wants to be able to see themselves clearly.
Poetry also allows us to see through our own eyes rather than through someone else’s perspective or interpretation of what we mean when we say something like “I love you” or “That tree was really tall!” or even just “Hey! What do you think about my new haircut?” When we do those things often enough, they become rote actions—we may even get bored with them because they don’t require us to think very much—but if each time instead we pause for just one breath before speaking our next words then suddenly they become new again because they haven’t been uttered yet; they haven’t been dismissed by someone else yet (like maybe your mom); they are fresh and full of meaning because there are no preconceived notions attached to them (like maybe me).
The poems in this book are self-portraits.
This book is a collection of self-portraits. Each poem is a love letter to its creator, an offering of itself and an invitation to awaken to our own experience of life. The poems are also meditations on the joy and pain that comes with being human.
All this might sound like high-minded, abstract stuff—and it is! But Bloom for Yourself has been designed so that you can read it in two different ways: either straight through or by jumping from poem to poem using the index at the back.
If you want to read it straight through (and I recommend this!), start with “A Love Story,” which describes how I came to write these poems—and then follow your nose from there!
اشعار این کتاب خودنگاره هستند.
این کتاب مجموعه ای از پرتره های شخصی است. هر شعر، نامه ای عاشقانه به خالق خود، پیشکشی از خود و دعوتی است برای بیدار شدن از تجربه خودمان از زندگی. اشعار نیز تأملی در شادی و درد ناشی از انسان بودن است. همه اینها ممکن است مانند چیزهای بلندمرتبه و انتزاعی به نظر برسد – و اینطور است! اما Bloom for Yourself طوری طراحی شده است که بتوانید آن را به دو روش مختلف بخوانید: یا مستقیم یا با پرش از شعری به شعر دیگر با استفاده از نمایه پشت. اگر میخواهید مستقیماً آن را بخوانید (و من این را توصیه میکنم)، با «داستان عاشقانه» شروع کنید، که توضیح میدهد چگونه این شعرها را نوشتم – و سپس از آنجا به دنبال بینی خود بروید!
They are love letters to their creator and a meditation on the joy and pain that comes with being human.
Bloom for Yourself is a book of poems that are love letters to the creator and a meditation on the joy and pain that comes with being human. They are written not only in honor of our own spiritual beings but also in homage to the universe itself. Each poem was birthed out of deep personal experiences,
both blissful and painful, which I hope will help you find peace within yourself through words alone.
آنها نامه های عاشقانه ای هستند برای خالق خود و مراقبه ای در مورد لذت و درد ناشی از انسان بودن.
شکوفه برای خودت کتاب شعری است که نامههای عاشقانهای به خالق است و تأملی در شادی و درد ناشی از انسان بودن. آنها نه تنها به احترام موجودات معنوی ما بلکه برای ادای احترام به خود جهان نوشته شده اند. هر شعر برگرفته از تجربیات عمیق شخصی است،
هم سعادتمندانه و هم دردناک، که امیدوارم به شما کمک کند تا تنها از طریق کلمات آرامش را در درون خود پیدا کنید.
Each poem is an invitation to awaken to our own experience of life.
The poems in this book are invitations to awaken to our own experience of life. They offer no solutions or answers, but rather invite us into the mystery of being human and alive. They invite us to accept our pain, to feel it fully and deeply before we can begin to heal it. And they encourage us not only to accept ourselves as we are but also see beauty in those around us who might not fit society’s definition of what is beautiful or “normal.”
The poems I chose all express an inner state that has been difficult for me at different times in my life—
loneliness and longing, fear and uncertainty—but they also express a sense that these states are universal experiences that ultimately bring people together when we share them honestly with each other.
They carry the promise that you are exactly where you need to be.
You are not alone.
This is the first and most important thing you need to know. You’re never, ever alone—and it may take a while for this to sink in, but it will. You have a family that loves you, friends who care about your well-being and coworkers who respect your contribution to the team.because You have people in this world who see your worth and value at every stage of life: before birth, when growing up as a child.
but during adolescence and into adulthood as an adult, And even when they don’t show it externally (like when we’re going through rough patches),
those people still believe in our potential and ability to get through whatever it is we’re facing right now—
whether it’s heartbreak or professional failure or just feeling like we don’t belong anywhere else except here with strangers on the internet reading my blog post about how I lost 80 pounds over five years ago.
but gained back 15 pounds since then because life happens sometimes even though everyone always says “Oh no don’t worry about small fluctuations like that! Just keep going!”
You are not alone.
so you might not think so, but you aren’t. maybe You are not the only person who feels like this,
who has had these problems and challenges, and There are many of us out there trying to live our best lives, and we all have our struggles and issues that we struggle with every day.
Knowing that may help you feel less alone in your journey towards self-love, because it lets you know that no one is perfect or has all their sh*t together 100% of the time! And if they do?
Awesome! accordingly It doesn’t mean they don’t struggle too though…they just might deal with different things than what you do right now.
but The most important thing for me personally was realizing my value as a person—
not just my worth in terms of productivity or achievements but rather as an individual human being whose relationships matter too (even those with myself).
تو تنها نیستی.
بنابراین ممکن است اینطور فکر نکنید، اما نیستید. شاید شما تنها کسی نباشید که چنین احساسی دارید، چه کسی این مشکلات و چالش ها را داشته است، و بسیاری از ما در آنجا تلاش می کنیم تا بهترین زندگی خود را داشته باشیم، و همه ما مشکلات و مسائلی داریم که هر روز با آنها دست و پنجه نرم می کنیم.
دانستن این موضوع ممکن است به شما کمک کند در سفر خود به سوی عشق به خود کمتر احساس تنهایی کنید، زیرا به شما این امکان را می دهد که بدانید هیچ کس کامل نیست یا 100٪ مواقع تمام تلاش های خود را با هم ندارد! و اگر انجام دهند؟ عالی! بر این اساس این بدان معنا نیست که آنها خیلی با هم مبارزه نمی کنند …
آنها فقط ممکن است با چیزهایی متفاوت از آنچه شما در حال حاضر انجام می دهید سر و کار داشته باشند. اما مهمترین چیز برای من شخصاً این بود که ارزش خود را به عنوان یک شخص درک کنم
نه فقط ارزش من از نظر بهره وری یا دستاوردها، بلکه به عنوان یک انسان فردی که روابطش نیز اهمیت دارد (حتی روابط با خودم).
Conclusion
Bloom for Yourself is a unique and powerful collection of poems that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t fit in. The poems are full of humor and light, but also they carry a deep message that we can all benefit from. What makes this book different from any other poetry collection,
so I’ve read is its focus on the self—both how we treat ourselves and how others treat us as well. It explores themes like love, sexuality, race relations, gender roles, religion and many more topics that affect us all in some way or another. I highly recommend it!
