[The0to0]

Very nice to see the video and read the words,hear the music and feel the affection of everything connecting together........

[unmeasuredinstances]

Well, three months late in replying, but still would want to say thanks.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Very cool... 5* and faved... you pull off something pretty nice here, you get across some abstract concepts and make them flow smoothly...

[unmeasuredinstances]

Well, David, somehow I never did reply to this sweet note....or truly thank you enough for the materials you sent. So now, after 3 months, let me at least muster up a true 'thanks' for all.

[fugazi0311]

Woah. Cool.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Hey Rae Rae - thanks! This is definitely one of the ones I personally love most.

[fugazi0311]

This poem or the comment I left?

[unmeasuredinstances]

Um, the poem :)

[fugazi0311]

Haha Okay, I wasn't sure. Yeah, it was pretty cool because it gives a story to your user name. I don;t have a sweet poetic journey I can take people on when I describe the meaning behind mine. It's just a band name ;(

[trealex41389]

you are an amazing writer. i love this video :DDD

[unmeasuredinstances]

Why thank you SO much!! This one occupies a special place in my heart, so it is always rewarding when others connect with it.

[skeltonclan]

Forward Hope. Wonderful!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Forward and hopeful, absolutely....what other choice do we have! :)

Thanks for taking the time to watch and enjoying it.

[GMPNY]

This was beautiful and you did a fantastic job! Its wonderful, thank you for sharing it :-)

[unmeasuredinstances]

Gail, you are SO welcome....so very welcome.

[loetje]

haaa.. and now i see that you've actually given us the text in the info! I'm playing this vid for the third time, and now i can sing along!I am singing More? Please? Please? Dear Sarah we love you you know that, please give us more shreds of journals? I feel i'm becoming the bad bird from the dark crystal now, saying in terrible falsetto: Pleeeeease? GIVE it to meeee?

[unmeasuredinstances]

I am SO glad you found this vid....it is the one I feel closest to, for many reasons. Mostly because it captures a bit of my writing and how I think, a scrap of my art set afloat. I will try to do more along these lines...they take so long to do, if you can believe that, and I have so little time these days. But....well, it pleases me to no end that you love this one. My sweetest friend....

[loetje]

Wow! Somehow i missed this! This is soo like your words are like songs have come actually true! O come sail away with me love! Yes , now i see...one day i'll take my parrots on a cruise over the oceans to see you...you Poët, you...

[unmeasuredinstances]

Oh yes, do please come....by boat or by plane, whichever port you arrive at I promise to greet you.

And more seriously.....what WOULD it take to get you here for a visit? Just so you know, a LOT of us (Paula, Les, Leith, Ashley, Erin, Morgan, etc) are gathering here on Nov. 27th, for Thanksgiving. What to come?

O, I know, shame on me for tempting you...but, well, even if not now, then soon or one day not too far off. Until then, we have our connections here, and within our hearts ♡♡

[loetje]

Yes, you temptress... wouldn't THAT be a Thansgiving!In dreams i see us all together one day, and Well, tell me at which port to arrive...to begin with, and then, i'll see if i can magic myself a ticket out of dry leaves and glamourous spells...or debts (which are probably more or less the same things), and then i won't be bringing any parrots (if only they were giant eagles who were somehow friendly and not hungry),only a humble body that needs to sleep in some dark attic...and be fed;turkey?

[unmeasuredinstances]

That is about as sweet of praise as I could ever want. Thank you!

[alice9w9]

"Come sail away, come saaiil awaay with me, lass!" Sorry. Couldn't resist. Yet another high quality vid from one of the purveyors of high quality vids.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thanks Alice! And I simply LOVE the connection you made!! Can't stop smiling...."Come sail away" indeed :D

[ulaladiva]

This, my dear, is true art. So beautiful in it's flow and movement. I feel you've created a masterpiece here. Don't ever stop, k?

Loves!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Ah Mercury, thank you sweetheart!! I mean that. And no - I will never stop. Promise.

♥Sarah

[RanmaruX]

Amazing. I'm going to show this to so many people.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thank you...so very very much. And I am sorry it took me SO long to subscribe to you. Taken care of now!

[ClosetCaseLez]

You need to teach a course in awesome! Awesome 101 would be cool, lol!

[unmeasuredinstances]

you know, sometimes it is purely people like you, who I have never met or seen, that keep me doing these things....thank you sweetheart, I DO appreciate it, blushing and all.

[ClosetCaseLez]

Well I shall keep being invisable support for you, lol.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Never. Not once. In fact, this is the first I have heard mention of it. :D

O sweetness, to tell the truth, that comment came at just the right moment, turning some momentary blues from their deep indigo to a far paler blush of azure.

I love you too, Les...I really do.

[Juststircrazy]

Wow-chills. Watching again.

[Juststircrazy]

You inspire me. Deeply.

[unmeasuredinstances]

The feeling is completely, totally mutual.

[tarynlynn16]

that was beautiful darling

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thank you! And I love your vids, so look forward to seeing more.

[kinoreeves]

As always, your work leaves me...speechless.

Thank you.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Comments like yours always touch me - thank you SO much. Truly.

[ufo8mykat]

Oh wow, what an invigorating challenge of those structures I am always struggling to find! Often, the more I hunt for stability, the farther I feel from it. To find stability in instability, floating without particular boundaries... what a challenging idea. I feel the same way hearing this as I did the day I first broke iambic pentameter. :) Thank you very much for this gift, your art! Love, Sama

[unmeasuredinstances]

So YOU'RE the person that broke iambic pentameter?! WELL, I hope you have plans to fix it because more than a few of us have been waiting, ya know:) More seriously, as always, a lovely comment....and a bit of blushing on my end. Thank you.

[samusamu]

this is awesome and so is the wave animation.

i love you!

[unmeasuredinstances]

As I slowly come up to a year on YT I think back to those I met early on, at first blush - so to speak. Not sure if you remember, but Sam you are among those first contacts I have traveled with all this way, and so it always special when I hear from you.

I love you as well, and hope all is wonderful and full in your life.

[samusamu]

:D

i know it's probably forgiven, but i do kind of regret that I have been more on the receiving end of the contacts and still haven't opened much up on my account in terms of videos. i have to say the biggest issue is technical restraints since i don't have a webcam, have to make videos on my digicam which means a lot more work and more than that time to second guess the ideas and not post. i'm not much of a journaling type either so it doesnt help.

[samusamu]

part 2,

so i really want to try to make some more personal videos soon (or even more videos in general) because i've always wanted to. but for the above reasons, i never get around to making them.

ps. i must confess a shameful thing... until this video i always hastily read your name as unmeasureddistances, never realizing the "in" but i like the name even more now that i've finally realized it.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Of course you are forgiven! And whenever the day comes that you can share more via vids - well, that will be sweet. Until then, I guess, you'll just need to be satisfied being sweet in secret :) And no shameful thing to confess: my conflation of several readings was meant to escape quick notice and almost no one ever EVER picks it up. Which actually delights me and was partly why I made this vid. BTW, the original title used the parenthesis, so was graphically much easier to untangle.

[PPJnet]

brilliant as usual. did you ever think of publishing a book ? I would order my copy instantly.

[unmeasuredinstances]

There is a long story buried in answering that, but yes - I have dreamt of writing a book for as long as I can remember. Knowing that you believe in that means a lot to me - perhaps one day, perhaps...after all....one day I will. Thank you sweetheart for your messages and your love.

[Paulalovesit]

Sarah, I truly mean this as a complement...The movie the ten commandments with the burning bush....So well spoken like always you bring the biggest smile you could ever imagine to my face Hon....It's not often we are blessed with your words, but when they come OMG They are POWERFUL YEA.....and hold such meaning....

Hugs my love, hugs to Hubby as well....

Paula

[PPJnet]

hugs to you, and friendship always.....

[unmeasuredinstances]

Of coarse I take it as a compliment....how could I not? And the image of your smile always gets reflected by my smile in return, grown now even larger. Sweetheart, I LOVE that you love these things...huge HUGS back.

[NaomiClareNL]

With every reading and listening to you reciting it, it becomes more dear to me. So beautifull, sigh.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Naomi - You know, because of our first exchange, I will always think of you as the person of wide open ocean expanses. Thank you for holding this close and finding it dear. That means a lot to me.

[hintgiver]

Dear Sarah,

Thank you so much for sharing this with us here in the youtube community. I am drawn to the way you dissected your username, unmeasuredinstances, with parenthesis. The use of alliteration in the third stanza was gorgeous. Finally, I love how you describe our heritage as nomads. I hope I get to experience more of your art in the future. Keep writing and keep smiling!

Peace and Love,

Diana

[unmeasuredinstances]

Diana - I felt certain you would pick up on the subtleties, the nuances that were present, and I loved thinking of you listening to this. When I make something I always imagine a certain handful of people as my audience - like focusing on a friendly face in the front row when giving a speech to a crowd - and you are always among those faces I turn to and create for. Thank you for being on the other end.

[nofreechange]

To unmeasure... I love it when something can be relevant to a space that I'm in at the moment. Thank you.

Liam

[unmeasuredinstances]

Liam - always so so special to hear from you, and to know that this was relevant somehow - well, all the more special because it IS you saying it.

[lorisrevival]

very poetic, i love it!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thanks Lori!

[dkublin]

My dear . You sound like Truman Capote from the movie Infamous..That was a great movie! You are a truly great person!!!! How is Alan? How is the married life? Best wishes to you both!!!!!! Mazel tov!!!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Allen is great - married life starts AFTER the 23rd, so not quite yet :) And thank you for the appreciation.

[1948mmm]

Visual and your voice are quite a couple.......

[unmeasuredinstances]

Its an image and text I had wanted to put together for a long long time.

[riftgirlblog]

Amor-ica. That's gorgeous imagery. You, ellyunfortunetly, and sloanesquareer are certainly quenching my poetic thirst. And yes, it actually does get even better - bravo!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thank you! :"> And thanks for the pointers to elly and sloansqueer...they are great. Will do my best to keep that thirst quenched, but if not, ah well.....there is always the champagne at the wedding :)

[riftgirlblog]

Here, here!
