[@melissabruhn1429]

Fantastic poem and your therapy is paying off as your articulation is much improved! ❤️ Be curious and don't be afraid. Thank you for Ithaca David. Onward! 🌻

Good to see you recovering, David. "Life is a journey - not a destination".

[@wendilandkammer8368]

As I was listening I thought how lucky your sons have been to have a dad like you. Thank you.

[@mustangnawt1]

Me too. What a Dad, what a Papa:)

I couldn't agree more! A marvel! 💟

I was thinking of you today, see you doing more than your best sir, a heart touching poem, and Yes fear creates what you fear, so say fear by by and let faith guide you on your journey boys/men 🔑

[@DecideTheWisdom]

Thank you so much for sharing that poem, David. It's lovely, it has a sentimentality to it that i'm sure you feel, having read it to both of your sons. It feels very liminal, as intended. Has the sense of seeing someone off on a journey and knowing they don't realize the gravity of the journey they're about to embark on. Glad to see you improving! Please keep sharing your wonderful poems and insights as you're able to. I'll be thinking of you and hoping for your recovery.

[@MicahScottPnD]

Liminal, I can't believe I haven't known that before. "Sub" gets all the limelight.

[@HuemorDGAP]

@DecideTheWisdom learned a new word today - liminal!! Thank you!!!

[@jordanrivas7398]

Mr. Hoffman please let me say thank you for this wisdom and the documentaries and stories you’ve shared with us. I’m so sorry to learn of your stroke, but I know this for certain, that your own journey still has an upward path. Best luck on your continued travels through life.

[@JWF99]

Nice choice David!👍 I also think it's a beautiful and powerful poem, it seems to say things I've heard you speak of over the past few years, and it resonates perfectly, btw I'm so happy to see that you're looking great and sounding just like your good ole self again, I'm sure your son's will appreciate this for the rest of their lives! Thank you for sharing with us subscribers as well❤☮✌

[@MicahScottPnD]

"Resonates", I was going to say that, Jim, because I just reread The Alchemist, and the resonance is spectacular, also, like you're saying, with past topics on the channel. Good one, Jim!✨🎆

[@JWF99]

@@MicahScottPnD Thanks Micah! I do enjoy using that word!👍 And I can certainly appreciate a good "resonator" any day! 😂🎸🎙📣

Wonderful poem, David. Your speech is better, you’re working so hard. Love to you and your family ❤

[@StephanieJeanne]

How beautiful, David. Your last words brought tears to my eyes. I see the message of this poem, and I see the man speaking this wisdom to his sons and to all of us. You are a treasure, dear David.🥹🤗💟

[@drewpall2598]

@StephanieJeanne... 😊👍🧡

[@MonicaThompson-im7vd]

That he is ❤️

[@Kate-f1n]

I love this poem!!! Didn't know that I was already on this journey! Who knew?? Sorry for poor words to describe... and thank you for these words that affirm. Also, they describe for both of us. Comforting. Invigorating. Encouraging. 🕊️❤️

[@MicahScottPnD]

It's such a fine choice, and such a fine sentiment. It might be said that conquest and growth are two separate types of journey. If you ask me, growth is far more valuable ❤

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@MicahScottPnD I agree, Micah. Very nice!💙

[@adventurecreations3214]

Wow! I haven't heard you speak since hospital. Great improvement! Keep up your good work.

[@ZeroOskul]

Make a movie. That's a thing you learned to do that you love to do that requires skills that you trained your brain to be proficient in doing. I hope there's an actual documentary about strokes and stroke recovery being made, right now, because I'm pretty sure that's the most obvious next step to take. Keep getting a little bit better, every day. Do the work you gotta do to not do any worse from one day to the next.

[@dead2that]

Great to see you!! ❤😊

[@o1badmofo763]

Well done, and looking chipper 👏nice to see..

[@zworm2]

Beautiful poem. My dad continued a tradition of giving framed copies of the wonderful poem - If. by Rudyard Kipling. When I was teaching a shared an adapted version with my students. Keep feeling better, I always enjoy your productions.

[@SherryHill-k5y]

IF is spectacular. Thanks for mentioning it. Kipling had many layers of writing.

[@SherryHill-k5y]

David your voice sounds so great and the poem you read is what everyone should hear. Being curious keeps a soul alive as it adds to learning more. Every day is a journey and you're on the right path. Thank you for the heart felt poem. Stay strong and again, sincere thanks. ❤
