    Once Blind

    Unlike many of my poems, this was made to be song lyrics from the start, so perhaps the proper place to star is to watch this lyric music video: Once blind, in the shadows I dwelled, Life's colors and lights withheld. Voices familiar, faces remained unseen, In solitude, through darkness I've...

    There's no "The One"

Is it the idea that for everyone, there's just exactly one person they are meant to be together with, and that each and every one of us has such "the one"? The implication would seem to be that even just one person in the whole world marrying the...

    WHAT FOOD DON'T YOU LIKE THAT THE WORLD LIKES!

    I used to find herring and some other similar kinds of fish disgusting. I haven't tried them for almost three decades, but given how I like some kinds of fish and at least tolerate many others now, I suspect this disgust is now a thing of the past. I just haven't gotten around to testing it yet...

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    And it can also be anything from "raw" to "well done".

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    Now that I thought about it a bit more, some of these are perhaps worth listening to as well: https://www.deiplus.fi/ohjelmasarja/4?mediaType=undefined and also if the scope isn't limited to just podcasts but other kinds of YouTube livestreams, etc, then there might be some others too.

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    I do less of my podcast listening in Finnish, and those that I do listen to in Finnish tend to be on politics, social issues, etc. The only exception that I can think of right away would be this one that deals with various issues in philosophy, theology and apologetics...

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    Yes. But I don't think either one of those two have produced new episodes since Justin Brierley left Premier. Regarding the others, "The Rest Is History" is not a Christian podcast, although one of the hosts (Tom Holland - the historian, not the Spiderman actor) seems to have come pretty close...

    Yes, nice to see Nordics of all varieties represented here! Sure, Santa may not actually live...

    Yes, nice to see Nordics of all varieties represented here! Sure, Santa may not actually live in Rovaniemi, but he does have an office there, and being a busy guy with an important and time-consuming job, I'm sure he has spent many nights there as well, so by some definition, he kinda does live...

    The Strangely Comforting Cross

    Here is a lyric music video based on the poem (still using AI to make the music - I haven't suddenly turned into some brilliant and super-productive composer).

    Dawning Day After the Storm

    Here's a lyric music video of the same poem (music made with the help of AI). I'll delete the old poetry video linked earlier in this thread because this one is much better.
