When writer, activist, wise teacher, Parker Palmer, recommends his favorite poets, I listen. Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem, Windhover, captures a moment of awe.

"In this meditation on aging I've tried to be true to gravity, to grace, and to the voice of my own experience in a way that invites the reader to listen to his or hers."

Poet, Czeslow Milosz, writes about a love that restores.

A poem of awakening by William E. Stafford. "And as elephants parade holding each elephant's tail, but if one wanders the circus won't find the park,"

In a pet store, a woman spots a sad little face. She had to bring him home!

Powerful inspiration from the music and lyrics of "This Is Me" from "The Greatest Showman".

When the pandemic began, my hands got busy, as did many others'. History is filled with examples of using calming creativity like needle work, gardening and writing.

An early morning walk around my garden is enough to remind me that there is more than enough. As I walk, I try to remember Thich Nhat Hanh's words: "Kiss the ground with your feet". Take a moment to walk with poet, Marge Piercy.
