It's difficult for me (cause I'm still a novice writer) to write about this poet for his scholastic genius. Whenever I come to his writings and go through his poems then get special something about depth of poetic expressions. It's always praiseworthy note that his all collaborating literary works are excellent beside his own creative writings. I wish always a brilliant highest success of this poet in his literary life.

A light in the darkest wilderness, A voice, and a song! Right beside you, brother!

Forward looking writers of your calibre are always welcome to do their best through poetry to higher level all the people of the world to live better as one humanity in One World! All the best always!

Pragmatism as an ideal? An interesting label which I would be honoured to wear, the problem with prolific writing is that we fall under many labels and academic attempts at definition often come not during but after the event. 'Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition that began in the United States around 1870. Pragmatism rejects the idea that the function of thought is to describe, represent, or mirror reality. Instead, pragmatists consider thought an instrument or tool for prediction, problem solving and action. Pragmatists contend that most philosophical topics—such as the nature of knowledge, language, concepts, meaning, belief, and science—are all best viewed in terms of their practical uses and successes.' Influences for pragmatism included 'Francis Bacon who coined the saying ipsa scientia potestas est (knowledge itself is power) ', 'David Hume for his naturalistic account of knowledge and action', 'Thomas Reid, for his direct realism', 'Immanuel Kant, for his idealism and from whom Peirce derives the name pragmatism', ' G. W. F. Hegel who introduced temporality into philosophy (Pinkard in Misak 2007) J. S. Mill for his nominalism and empiricism', 'George Berkeley for his project to eliminate all unclear concepts from philosophy (Peirce 8: 33) ' and 'Henri Bergson who influenced William James to renounce intellectualism and logical methods'. My favourite protopragmatist is Ralph Waldo Emerson.

You have a profound concept of life, but there are many concepts that enhances life. pragmatism absent of being dogmatic.
