I have so much admiration for the talent and the community Jozef and I have been so privileged to grow with here.
Jeremy, Thank you for the inspiration that launched this particular collaboration off! Your fearlessness in bringing the hard topics to the forefront is something I always will admire. You are an incredibly powerful voice, are uniquely written and always position rich perspectives. It's been a huge compliment for me to have you along for the adventure since the early stages when I had a little crazy idea to do some things while not being so sure how the things would all go. Thank you for being you. Thank you for your commitment and support.
Laura, words cannot express how wonderful it is to have you joining me and Jozef in these projects. I remember first coming across your work and being so in love with the ease and fluidity with which you seemed to write and the beauty of your words. You are not only a beautiful mind, honest and pure writer, but you are also such a beautiful person to know and work with here. We both thank you for trusting us and joining us whenever we bring something new to the table. It's an honour to be able to show off your work with us.
And to Jozef...what more can I say that I haven't already said? My work here is all the richer for your energy and strength, all ideas coming to fruition, your unwavering commitment to the work--to me--no matter how much I might be driving you crazy with my ideas and all the extra work since we have come into each other's life--you are still here. I have so much love in my heart for you and it is one of my greatest pleasures to be doing this together beside you. Thank you for sharing the vision and the dream with me.
Oh Laura...You are a major part of this and it really makes me so proud to have you. Your writing was really great on this one--a level of intensity I have to say I was not expecting but that was exactly what we wanted and needed. It is our honour to have you join us. ❤️
you (all four) blow me away! this is just a masterpiece. together, stand alone, paired, heard, read, digested, excreted… i love what you’ve done here. and tonight when i bow to the Pacific ocean, witnessing the Sun dance on Holy water (or for mass appeal: walk on water), i will offer gratitude for this master peace. (i’m pretty sure) i love you.
You're pretty cool pen. Pretty cool indeed. I live in the Pacific Ocean too man, I will be right there with you. Thanks for joining us here at Saccharum and being part of The Broom's Edge Tribe ;) One Love friend.
Pen, you're just so rad. Let's all go walk on water!! I'm pretty sure there is nothing but love floating all around here. And that, my friend, is what this is all about. Your words are taken in deeply and appreciated. When I do my moon salutation tonight I will offer thanks and blessings to you. Oh, and I'll say it again...join us one of these days, yeah? 🌞
Wow! all of you did such an awesome job! I love the different approaches and expressions while connecting with still having a golden thread run through. 🤌
Dearest pie...I'm sending you so much love! We have a strong group of us...with room to grow! Still need to get you in on the activities one of these times. I (we) really appreciate you being here. If there is a gold thread running through the work then the silver threads are all of you that join us. ❤️
Samara, wow! 😅 What can I say?! I'm gonna go all in and say the wows!! It's really incredible that you have joined us here to invest your time, support our work and comment. We truly all put the time and our hearts into this in the hopes it would be received well. Your comment is testament that we achieved our goal.
You know I love how you are side by side with me on this ride....so I know you know that I couldn't be doing this at this level without you. I appreciate you giving me a spotlight here, but this is both of us. And I definitely would not have it any other way. It's golden because we both touch it. It doesn't work any other way. ❤️
Wow, Luis, thank you for your compliments. I did write the music for Jozef but we honestly feed off each other's vibe to do what we are doing here. We both had a hand in all the audios you listened to in this post. We are a team and there is no other way this would work so well without us both. And for that matter, anyone who ever joins Jozef and me in any way is on our team. Inspiration feeds inspirations and without it where would we be?? This isn't just about us (me and Jozef). We really are aiming to build a unified voice of thoughtful and brilliant creators. We sincerely thank you for joining the journey alongside us.
And live poetry readings...it's a goal! I don't know how we can pull it off because we are all from so many locations, but I will tell you...it'd be a dream come true (yeah...we have talked about it) to somehow make it work. If you have ideas we are all ears. If we can round up the right people with the right vision and maybe connections we can pull it off! We certainly have the talent pool for it!!
All that sounds really great, Sylvia! Yes let’s keep in touch about that. There are many options, going from local bookstore organizations to grant applications—I’ll be happy to exchange ideas about that with you guys.
The world of writing is so new to me and to have you in our corner to throw ideas around would be incredible. I've always been a closet writer until joining Substack in January and though I come from the entertainment industry and creative work there is so much to learn about the writing world. But I am here for it 100%. Jozef and I have some things to streamline yet and build towards, but what you're talking about is really exciting! Thank you for this.
The donut hole is found to be the holy grail of spice in life. Much ado about nothing. Black holes suck. But compress to explode into new creations. Universe expands and contracts. No time or space. Eternity is grace. Perhaps a slap on the face. Turn the cheek. War is not the answer. See where life has taken the world. We spiral out, DNA helix. Snails whorls, shells crunch under feet. I find them good for lunch. healing.
Where would we be without your always unique comments, Richard? Your words make this feel like home always, now. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us. ❤️ Thank you for always joining us here.
Absolutely loved this collaboration. Each piece was a sensory delight and all the different takes, bring unification and depth to the theme as a whole in a beautiful way. I’d definitely love to see more of this. Good job everyone
Tolu!!! You have to join us on these as you can. We have little collaborations brewing regularly. This is home for you whenever you feel like joining. ❤️🙏
Thank you for joining us here, Mia! We love how this is growing and we are truly grateful to have you here as part of it all. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the community and the friendships we are growing. It all means so much to us. 💖
Thank you Samantha! This post was initiated by Jeremy. He isn't afraid to dive into these powerful topics and strong, thoughtful questioning--and we are always here for it! We are all curious minds here and it's such a fantastic gift (and opportunity) to be surrounded by such brilliant minds. Thank you for always being a part of this work with us. We'll need to get you in on some upcoming projects. 🌞
And Sylvia. Wth! You blew the whale out of the water with this one. The tones and your use of voices really made your part stand out. The conjunctions, the vocab. It really felt like this topic worked with your style.
My hairs on fire and I have no desire to extinguish it.
DOMO!! haha what a great comment my fiery haired friend!! I light my hair on fire and run with you, wild and thrilled, in this world of words! You should join us in the future if you feel the urge! Thank you for being along for the ride! Your energy is infectious. I had a swing over to your writing and enjoy your style. Here's to much more ahead of us!
Jeez, you flatter me. I might have to put my head in icy water now. ‘World of words’ totally. Worlds within worlds. There so many doors to open. So much space for expansion. Pop.
I always have the urge. spilling out of me by the gallon. The water is rising - and riding waves of words with you guys would be wicked!
Yeah...you are definitely bringing a feeling and an energy we would love here 😏. Let's find all the doors and see where they lead. If you are spilling gallons I'll rush you to our well. The ink and the ideas are flowing. 😉
I have so much admiration for the talent and the community Jozef and I have been so privileged to grow with here.

I'm obsessed.

We truly all put the time and our hearts into this in the hopes it would be received well. Your comment is testament that we achieved our goal.
you did - really remarkable pieces, recordings, the composition of all four of them together juxtaposed. yes. i'm here for more!
if you ever feel the interest in joining us for future projects don't hesitate to message me with let me know...we can chat more.
I’d be honored. I’ll send you a message!
Wow, what a feast for the ears and eyes. Jozef, I really really liked your audio, so cool!
Sylvia wrote the music. I did some vocal processing for the mix, but that sexy ass music was all her. Thanks for or the support my friend!!
You know I love how you are side by side with me on this ride....so I know you know that I couldn't be doing this at this level without you. I appreciate you giving me a spotlight here, but this is both of us. And I definitely would not have it any other way. It's golden because we both touch it. It doesn't work any other way. ❤️
👏👏👏
Bravo, Sylvia—you’re so good at this. And that would be cool for live poetry readings, too, with some beats in the background.
Wow, Luis, thank you for your compliments. I did write the music for Jozef but we honestly feed off each other's vibe to do what we are doing here.

The world of writing is somewhat new to me as well, at least outside online writing. But joining efforts is a terrific way to learn new things.

The words just leap. Jump rope. Some days the shoe sole get tongue tied. Take what you will. I got some spare change.
Mmmm donuts!
Absolutely loved this collaboration. Each piece was a sensory delight and all the different takes, bring unification and depth to the theme as a whole in a beautiful way. I’d definitely love to see more of this. Good job everyone
Tolu!!! You have to join us on these as you can. We have little collaborations brewing regularly. This is home for you whenever you feel like joining. ❤️🙏
Absolutely will do 💜
Love them all!! 🤍

So beautifully spoken, Sylvia!! I appreciate you so much! 🤍
This was fantastic! Such great questions you quest.

Powerful messages from all writers. Magical collaboration!
So much power and prowess in one post. Love the perspectives.

Really liked your part there, Jozef.
Forgiveness is important to be able to let go. Grudges kill the heart.
Acceptance is also a fragrance that’s avoided more often than not.
Amen! Thank you for your words brother.
A rich and layered voices.
I’m reminded of Rumi’s words: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”
Perhaps all is found in that open & questioning space.
Thank you 🙏
