Unlikely friends
Bonds forged letter by letter
We rise,
Rise up
Through the flames
Of a diagnosis
Which locks us up
Silent.
Alone.
In need of comrades
Who get it
In these letters
I found friends,
Soulmates
I also found me.
Lost in the letter board
I am found
A life worth living
Forged letter by letter.
Rumi is an 8 and a half years old boy who lives in Calgary, Alberta. Although Rumi does not speak, he learned to communicate by spelling letters on a letter board using Rapid Prompting Method (RPM). RPM gave Rumi an opportunity to voice his thoughts and ideas. Rumi has a goal to advocate for quality communication and educational opportunities for all nonspeaking people. Rumi loves music, nature, and outdoor activities and wants to become a botanist when he grows up. If you enjoy his writing, please consider leaving a tip at https://ko-fi.com/rumiottusyyc.

As someone who is on the spectrum and has also been a teacher for 32 years, I am absolutely blown away by the sheer quality of this poem. The imagery is beautiful and each word is like a stepping stone across a burbling creek.
To those who loved Rumi’s poems: Rumi has published his poetry book and it can be found on Amazon!

Hello there! While scrolling through a lifestyle blog, I noticed a sidebar promo for spiritual readings in Arizona, complete with a demo slot machine. Intrigued, I tapped the link leading to https://psychics-advisor.com/city/phoenix/ and browsed reader profiles. One psychic’s focus on emotional healing really resonated with me, and at the end they invited me to try a few spins on their demo slots. The design illustrated payline mechanics so clearly that I ended up revising my own slot strategy. It was an unexpected combo of heartfelt advice and practical gaming insights that left me genuinely impressed.
