Friends, from a sleepless night, a poetic offering for you. From a dream I had while awake…which was real -but felt like a dream. Follow? Well…let’s see!
I pray it blesses you, somehow.

Recently I received some fabulous mail from a Canadian friend. It was chock full of the kind of ephemera we journaling types adore. Canada is celebrating it’s 150th birthday this year but it seems I get the presents. She included a lovely Starbucks Canadian travel mug I have been toting back and forth on my out and about town excursions. One of the exquisite treasures I received was an artist post card. On it was a painting I felt incredibly drawn to, above the many lovely images sent. As I tipped it (taped it with washi tape) into my journal, I was inspired to write a poem.
Poetry continues to be a powerful pathway for me. I believe it is a pathway for many things, connection, community, and conversation. Art offers the same to all in its various forms. There is no limit to where the imagination can lead. I find inspiration in both artwork and artist, so be sure and check out the artist whose work inspired the poem below: Shannon Ford. I know you will find her work incredible to see!

This morning’s offering was actually written yesterday morning. The Poetry as Pathway Series will be coming by June. God willing. In the meantime I pray these words encourage you today.

A poetic offering from my recent weekend in New Hampshire.
If you want to know more about my weekend retreat here, or would like me to write about it in more detail, or do a video coffee chat- I would love too. Leave a comment below.
Meanwhile, I pray this poem I wrote Saturday morning, gives you a glimpse into the beauty I experienced there.
Note: I did share two of my poems on the Saturday evening Talent Show…to keep my fear of public speaking at bay. Onward- for His glory! The poems I shared at the Women’s Retreat (April 28th- 30th) can be read when you click on the linked titles here: Luminary and Anyway .
See my Local Events page for the next public Poetry Reading I will be doing.
