A daily-ish poetry practice to nourish your aching heart
I’ve felt so lost.
Maybe (probably?) you too.
The last two (seven) (ten) (infinity) years have been a LOT.
The world is shifting beneath our feet. And while this has likely been happening for a long while, most of us are only now beginning to feel it.
We are dizzy. Exhilarating. Terrified. [Insert your prevalent emotion here.]
This is okay.
This is normal.
This is a logical reaction to illogical times.
That doesn’t make it easy…but at least it makes sense.
We’re living the history that was taught to us as children, the history that was a warning, a morality tale of sorts, an education in the ways humanity should not go.
And now we are watching so many humans go exactly that way, and our brains and hearts are breaking.
I don’t have any answers.
But I do have poetry.
This is for you, and this is also for me. (Honesty is important.)
I wish that my words could knit together the wounds of loss and confusion and fear and and and that so many of us have been dealt these last years.
I know they can’t. Not really. Not in the ways that matter when your home is getting sold out from beneath you.
(Even though I believe that words can heal.)
(We can hold both truths at once.)
And yet, I also know/feel/believe that my poems are the best that I have to offer this fractured world.
I have poetry books, yes. But I want to give you more. I want to give the world more. I want to give you more.
I’ve started posting poems on my Patreon. Five poems a week, 2-3 of those being brand new poems and 2-3 of those being older ones.
This is helping me write.
This accountability is helping me do the work that I am best at.
Maybe it will help you too. I don’t know. I hope it will, but I don’t know. We can all only hope for the best.
So there it is. A ministry of poetry. $5 USD a month for approximately twenty-five poems per month to nurture your heart and mind and soul and all those hurting parts. A non-religious devotional practice of sorts.
Let us come together and see what words can do.
