I was functionally illiterate on leaving school in the mid-80s. Between 2000 and 2020 I was increasingly involved with poetry, and my writing greatly improved, but not my reading. However, having weak reading can imply you discover things the cliched hard way instead, i.e., via a path of wisdom rather than knowledge. It means you might rediscover truths and strengthen our broad collective faith, and add further acceptance to commonsense.​ Primarily, I suggest we shun group mentalities and become individuals. Please see my "I am" book and my essay "No - a shortcut to assertiveness". The latter might help you with the goal of "I am", and there is vastly more here. My opus is over 200,000 freely available words.

The video below is of me, Michael, reading "Mr Fish's fine kettle", which is the first poem I'd written in over four years, having taken many hours of March '24 to write it. It's also a take me or leave me example of me... So, here we have it, and I warmly invite you to explore my corner of the WWW.

BTW: I love Jesus, but there was no extraction, distillation, and distribution of crude oil in his time... I think it would have made a difference.
I think we need a new core principle, and "It's not love". I don't know what it is: a new "ism..."
