SELF is  a poem waiting to be told

seen  heard   loved

amaze me

I used to write tons of poetry when I was a teen. Some of it was really really bad!  I mean...seriously horrible!! And lots were mediocre but...there were  a few that really showed promise. But along with painting and drawing...I put all of my hopes and dreams in a box and locked it shut. I lost the key... for a long long time. But since I started blogging, journaling, writing my morning pages...I am inspired to write again. I am combining my words with my art and that  has been fostering even more writing and healing and inspiration and...And I have been feeding mySELF with so many delicious poetry books...it feeds my soul and brings the sacred to every moment. It allows me to experience another person's soul...in a brief moment. And isn't that magical? To connect  across time and space? Soul to soul?

art is  a poem...and so are you!
