A poem is not a piece of writing.
It is a bridge of words that leads
to a place there are no words for.
When the world feels too small,
it is a time for a poem.

In school, I was taught poetry had to be cerebral, heavy, and impossible to understand. It took me a decade to give myself permission to write the poems that wanted to come through me. These poems are for bedside tables and hikes, for meditation moments in the midst of busy days. Use them to connect back to that internal home.
