-bow- I’m here again stalking around your blog. Afterall that I’ve read, I’m speechless!
Hello my brilliant friend! How are you today? Thank you so much for your generous comment. You are incredibly talented and also unique and an enigma. I am endlessly fascinated by you and what you say with your writing… Beautiful day to you. Michele x
I miss Michele…and feel blessed when great news of her exceptional self turns up in my mail. People are not mistaken with the love and praise they bring. You are just special, Michele. Oh, remain special, my lovey-dovey.
Blessings to you. /Elias
Dearest Elias, so good to hear from you. Whenever I think of you a big smile spreads across my face. You make me so happy! You are the special person. What you’ve seen and what you’ve survived and gone on to achieve with your life is beyond imagination. My deepest blessings to you dear Elias and your exceptional loved ones. Please pray for the miracle that brings me back to Salone to see you again soon. Love and peace to you. Michele

You can’t imagine the excitement we have here about seeing you again, especially Tejan.
Michele, you are an Archangel!!!!
Blessings to you.
/Elias
Today is actually one of those procrastination days where I stay away from the keyboard and just be random. Hope all are excellent there in UK!
And, have a great day too!
Ah yes, I know what you mean… there are days when the thoughts just want to mingle with each other but not offer themselves to the ‘real’ world. Or at least that’s how I try to explain away my procrastination non-writing days. BTW, what does your random look like? For me it often involves long stretches of time when I visit other star systems!!! Sometimes I report back via WordPress, sometimes not 🙂 Wishing you a wonderful day. Michele
Tag! You’re it!

Thanks for showing interest in what I put out.
I sincerely hope you continue to find my works entertaining & pleasurable.
Be safe.
Very interesting site! Thank you for stopping by mine, as well. Cheers!
Hello again, Michele! Scott from Gnostic Bent here. I’m not sure if I ever told you, but your education, experience and accolades seem oddly similar to some early career goals I set for myself and sadly never reached. I am very impressed and proud for you, of course, but I would be lying if I said some envy and maybe even jealousy weren’t also floating around in there. Unfortunately, I pursued an MA in Creative Writing just before MFA programs started popping up everywhere in the States. In my time, the only ones were so exclusive that I never would have gotten in anyway. I wasn’t a teenage filmmaker, prepubescent & published author or anything like that. However, I was permitted to write a full-length, feature film script for my thesis, along with a critical essay about the genre I selected: film noir. And this from a guy who essentially taught himself to write screenplays, treatments and such (despite preferring to attend a more established, prestigious and formal program at some other institution… like UCLA, for instance… jealous, jealous). At any rate, this also came as my university was first establishing their film program, so I inadvertently became the first grad student to successfully defend not just his thesis, but a film script. Of course, that was my one-and-only achievement in the field, so I couldn’t be more impressed with your resume. Congratulations on the success of “Moonbug,” by the way! I haven’t seen it yet, but I certainly look forward to doing so. Incidentally, I know another documentary filmmaker (an American) who also focuses on social change, primarily with regard to history. His name is Ken Wyatt and his film “Colored Confederates” has been doing pretty well. Is it possible your paths may have crossed, perhaps at a film festival? If not, then it might be worth making the connection/contact, so please let me know your thoughts and I’ll point him at your blog. He’s a great guy who has real passion for his craft. And since his wife and I have worked together for years at the college, I trust and respect him as I would my own brother. You know where to find me, Michele, and not just for the Ken connection. My interest in film and screenwriting is still there, so maybe I can pick your brain sometime, hmmm? Regardless, keep up the good work and know that I wish you nothing but success in all your endeavors. Still a little jealous, though 🙂
Hi Scott,
Thank you so much for your appreciation of my work. Let me say that I am in awe of you! It was fascinating to read about a few of the important choices you’ve made in your life. Successfully defending a thesis AND a film script. Absolutely brilliant. As for me, I feel blessed every day and consider what I do for a living to be an incredible privilege. I started life in an orphanage and the elderly folks who raised me died when I was still a teenager. When I was starting out on this path I told a dear friend of mine that I wanted to put my love into films. Of course, knowing the film industry as we do… it turned out not to be that simple 🙂 And, yes, I would love to be in touch with Ken Wyatt — please go ahead and point Ken in the direction of my blog. And, Scott, please feel free to pick my brain. I am ready and waiting! Have a wonderful day and I wish you every success and the fulfillment of your dreams. M
Thanks, Michele! You will definitely be hearing from me again! 🙂
Wonderful, thank you. 🙂
Very impressive! Thanks for commenting on my blog and in so doing allowing me to find you! 😉
I’m going to ask you a favour… would you please also read a few of my posts about the situation in South Africa… a lady with your skills could create massive awareness of the issues ongoing there!! I’ll include one link.. this post is the last in a series and will provide further links! Thanks again.
http://ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/no-were-not-knocking-south-africa/
Lovely to receive your reply and I am grateful for your appreciation of my work. I will gladly look at your link to the situation in South Africa. If I can be of service in any way I’m open to exploring how we could create massive awareness of the challenges people are facing in South Africa. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Paul, thanks for visiting my blog. I enjoyed reading your comment — and, yes, we do closely relate on the theme of non-violent conflict resolution. I’ve been blogging quite a bit lately… challenging myself to write a post a day and connect with numerous great bloggers on WordPress. You, my friend, are one of them! Love, Michele
Congratulations Michele on receiving such prestigious awards for your documentaries. Having studied filmmaking myself, I know how competitive the field is and how your work has to stand out to be recognized. You did it, and at the same time, contributed to the betterment of humankind!

And do you have a Youtube page or a post with links to some of your work? That’s if you vibed with my work, but even if you don’t I’m interested to see some of your work. 🙂 Peace and be blessed!
Hello Again! Yes I’d love to share some links to my work. Check out this link for some examples of the films I’ve made.
https://micheledacosta.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/film-links/
Depending on the film, I was either the producer – director – editor – camera — and all of the above! You know 🙂 Would love to hear your thoughts and links to anything you’ve done (or would like to do) that has a similar vibe and sensibility. Thanks again for your interest. Peace and blessings, Michele
Hi Michele,
Well on my about page there are two shorts. Presently setting up a pitch for another fictional film via my rep, but I had to take some time to polish it.
The film is this one: http://glothefilm.blogspot.com/
This is info on the short we were fundraising for but now we are tackling the feature the short was a derivative of. You can also watch the two shorts in my about section. Everything else is old film school stuff found on youtube. But thanks for the interest!!!!! But, how do I get to your work? Another way perhaps?
Thanks for sharing this info. Sounds like you have a great strategy for achieving your dream 🙂 Looking forward to seeing your work and hopefully you can access mine!!
Wow you have such impressive credentials in your field Michele, congrats for all of your creative projects and success! You’ve been such a great supporter, it’s time I come around and give you back some of the love!

Michele –
You have a very intriguing blog – keep up the good work! 🙂 I love the photos, especially the ones of the trees. There’s just something about the bare trees against the big, bold sky that is so captivating!
Thank you for stopping by my blog, and deciding to follow me on my journey. I consider it an honor to have you join me.
I hope you have a wonderful week – looking forward to more amazing photos from you! 🙂
Thanks so much for the follow and for liking my recent post ‘Weekly Photo Challenge – Patterns (in nature) – you do some amazing work – I look forward to learning more. Cheers from Ohio/USA 🙂
Dear Michele,
Thank you for stopping by my blog and liking my work and book ‘From the Silence Within’.
Indeed, it’s an honor to be connected with you.
I loved the Autumn pictures of ‘the Trees in prayer’ 🙂 (if I may call them that !)
I’m so happy to read about your documentary films and hoping I can see them here in India.
With lots of best wishes for your Photography & Films and your wonderful writing blog here.
Regards,
Madhavi Sood
Dear Michele,
I’m so sorry, I had wanted to share a picture of some Gulmohar trees here (in India) and by error in pasting it, the above amazon link to my book got pasted!
Regret the inconvenience caused.
And I don’t know how to undo it now ! I’m new on this wordpress site here! 🙂
This is the picture I had actually wished to share with you… ( I had taken it last month when spring had silently sprung in here – this is a picture of the blooms of the Gulmohar tree in my backyard here) Hoping you like it.
http://madhavisood.wordpress.com/tag/gulmohar-trees/
With Best Wishes & Regards
Madhavi
Wow!
Thank you. You wow me!!
I have to say, I originally stopped here because of your name.
Michele, not many of us spell it that way. LOL!
But once here, I fell in love with your words lovely lady. You are a talent in many ways. I will kept my eye on you.
Much Love
G
Wow, thank you for your beautiful words. Still to this day I don’t why my mother chose to spell my name with one L — but I give thanks if it meant that out of the blue you would stop my blog. Thanks mum — and thank you, Glynis 🙂
hallo Michele dear…it’s been a while. Tejan and my family are fine, and tired with the heat. Thankfully, the rains have started coming – with flowers sprouting everywhere. And a lot of songs too, from bird and man…uhum.
Cheers, sweet Michele
/Elias
Thanks for liking my Tinnitus poems. The “likes” have been rare recently (partly my own fault, maybe; I admit I do absolutely nothing to promote my blog) so it’s much appreciated. Your blog looks absolutely wonderful!
Thanks for reading my blog, Michele. I look forward to delving in here further-love your vibe. 🙂
It’s my pleasure. Your blog is brilliant. I try to visit you every day 🙂
Michele – I followed you to your blog from a comment you left on Hanne’s blog. I am delighted to have found another photographer/poet. I love to combine both of those vehicles of expression myself. In my blog, I started posting some of my original photos and poetry written in response to them under the category: Ekphrastica, if you get a chance to stop by.
BTW, what drew you to study German and Russian? As a multi-lingual myself, just curious, I am originally from German and emigrated to the US as a student. Acquired a few phrases of Russian during a short stint in the Ukraine a while ago.
Dear Michele, your smart with a lot of intelligence and can potentially influence millions of people for the better. My evergreen blogs and books, especially COMMON SENSE are filled with interesting social, political, and economic factual information which frequently separates fact from fiction and hopefully stimulates creative thinking. If you ever run out of ideas for you screen writing recharge them with my writing. Best wishes and enjoy!!! Uldis
Congratulations, Michele!

Wow I’ve just read your about page. Two years ago I didn;t even know what this was. I put up one of my photos of wooden mushrooms and dedicated it to you. My song Moon Base Alpha was inspired by dreams of Jim with the astronauts in space. Will put it up next. Where do you get your energy? I’m very slow but have strong spiritual energy now that I know all about my roots within last few years only.. I LOVE the dark twiggy bush with the white light around it. Thanks for looking into my amateur blog which is just a hobby for now.
I’m nominating you for the Sunshine and Versatile Blogger Awards. I love your blog and I wanted to share how much I appreciate what you do. You can find the awards on this link: http://wp.me/p3up8i-5G

Thanks for following my blog. Making documentaries to promote peace sounds like a great mission! I commend you for your work.
I love your work! You are an amazing artist.
Hey Ms DaCosta
Thank you for your continued support and readership.
And I mean that.
To have the admiration of somebody whom I in turn admire so much, well, that alone is worth a million people reading my work.
You keep up your work

Wow Michele, I’ve been following you for a while but for some odd reason I never did check your About page (I usually always do before I follow someone). I guess I simply fell in love with your writing and nothing else mattered 🙂 I had no clue you were so accomplished and had done (and still do) SO much. I somehow stumbled across Jennifer’s post where you and her did a joint poem and that’s where it all happened and light was shed on your heart 🙂 I am so inspired by you and proud of you and definitely have a whole new level of respect for you. Thank you for giving me hope, and showing me that are truly GOOD people out there!!
Thank you for commenting on my poem, it was just a response to someone’s remark. There are other poems on my blog which were perhaps more thought out, but sometimes perhaps the best ones are the simplest.
I think you are an amazing woman, and I’m honoured that you stopped by.
So very interesting!
ah, brilliant, determined AND a beauty inside & out. you’ve got it all!!
Congratulations Michele! You have been nominated for the Very Inspiring Bloggers Award! I hope you accept it!

The thought-provoking posts on your blog are precisely why you deserve this award!
Keep up the wonderful blogging!
all the best,
Helen
Hey there talented lady! Thanks for liking my Rumi post, and for ‘following’! Much appreciated 😉
Hello, Michele…Thank you for following me…Question: What made you want to follow me? Just curious? I see you read my about me…what did you think?
Hello Charlie, lovely to hear from you. Yes, good question, I’m intrigued by you. Cybernetic noise is one of my obsessions! And a couple of your key words resonate with me… avant-garde and surrealism. I look forward to following you as you develop and present your perspective on important subjects that are critical to our future.
Looks like you’ve got something in common with cybernetics and its futurism of our cyber-culture. 🙂
I’m going to start posting sometime next Monday my first poem in a long time. I use to post poems on wordpress, I took them down, but I will post them up again…:) You will enjoy my poetry…its not like anyone else on this wordpress community. Trust me…:)
Hi Michele–thanks for introducing yourself by following our site, yours is beautiful and inspirational. It’s so wonderful to find people with such common interests this way! We think you would love India, do you hear it calling?
Hey Michelle, I ran into your blog from reading your interview..NICE you were in Sierra Leon..I am a young African American male I lived a year in Panama and love traveling to different places with large black populations to find out what we all have in common and where we differ, and to explore food and culture…I loved that you made an impact out there last year and I would love to make my way to the motherland as well…thanx for being an inspiration..BLESS sista!

Hi, Michelle. It’s nice to meet yo, and thank you for having a look at my blog. A documentary film-maker! Sounds like a fun job.
Dear Michele,
I can’t choose where to place my comments! EVERY poem I read, every gloriously crafted prose creation, and everything I read about your life leave me groping for superlatives. For now, allow me to simply say “Thank You” for the great honor you do me by following my “Randa Lane…” blog:

Tyvm Michele 🙂
🙂 🙂
As a new Spikey Michele, you’ve joined a growing clan of folk known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂
Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.
My aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures since the 70′s, as well as day to day happenings on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations on life as I see it. Of course, if you have any suggestions for me, I’d love to hear from you, serious; email me.
In return, I promise not to be overbearing with perhaps 2-3 posts a day tops. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.
Thanks again for your vote of confidence, particularly from your good self, a media ‘expert’ 🙂 and hope you have a great day…
UNCLE SPIKE
