In this episode of 'Black Fluid Poet', John S. Blake, also known as Black Fluid Poet, opens up about his journey through therapy, the challenges of relocating, and the profound reflections on his life and the world around him. Broadcasting from a coffee shop, Blake shares his experiences of leaving Boston and New York, dealing with his brother's addiction, and finding solace in the quieter pace of Omaha, Nebraska.
He candidly discusses the culture shock he's faced, the loneliness of not fitting in, and how the stillness has given him time to reflect on both his mistakes and triumphs.

Blake's raw honesty about his struggles with addiction and his reflections on global politics, particularly the situation in Palestine, are both moving and thought-provoking.

His recounting of his past, including working in New York during 9/11 and taking his Shahada, adds depth to his narrative. Blake's reflections on love, compassion, and the importance of doing the right thing are a powerful reminder of why this world is worth saving.
