i find that many articles, like yours, i am dismissive of. Fortunately i have learned not to allow myself such a narrow path. Consequently i have to go back and reread until i let myself be open to it. Only then can i “think” with a deeper, clearer child’s mind and feel in the same way or at least make the effort.
Just curious, what is it exactly that you’re dismissive of? I don’t know if my writing can qualify as an article. I think of it more as prose poetry. This is why I also read it out loud. When I first started writing it was for poetry readings and open mics. I try to write articles and essays but I always feel like I have to lie somewhat because I’m never 100% sure of anything. Anyway, thanks for reading and for your thoughtful response.
i was criticizing myself in saying dismissive, as in not having space in my head for what you were saying and then opening up. prose poetry/essay, oK, yes, of course. i often refer to posts as articles, like back in the time of newspapers. i actually like reading your prose. i’m glad that at least you found me thoughtful. i was.
Sensei, have lovely training..as Kaiso taught us: we must be invigorated again and again. I’m also on my way to lead the keiko … warm smiles and deep regards 🙏

Thank you! To be fair, most people probably would also call it an article. Maybe I'm just self-conscious of my ability to stick to one point.
