Poetry is a sacred bridge back to the soul…

Poetry as Soul Connection

Poetry is tender, therapeutic medicine for my soul. It helps move things that are stuck in me, invites me to wonder and explore intuitively and guides me to deeper understanding of my experiences and this world. Poetry began to arrive about two years ago, fluttering into my mind and heart, inviting me to listen for subtleties, feel deeply and write without knowing what would come through on the page. Poetry has been a practice of self-trust, of reclaiming a loving, intimate relationship with my body, with my senses, with my knowings. It has also been a beautiful gift of intense grief work, sobriety and a returning to silence and stillness. These are some of the poems that have emerged through me. I hope they bring some light to someone else in some way.
