Friend, I think I told you I have grown into poems….so often I could not understand them when I was younger. I had favorite poets but often the poems would run right over me without comprehension.

When I was in my mid 30’s, I met David Whyte and did a workshop with him that was quite powerful and it helped me awaken an understanding.

I find most poems are like my dreams with multiple meanings and need to be admired often and from many angles.

And lines from poems often pull at my mind and tug at my heart…..so I tend to find words or phrases that stay with me.

I have read these poems many times and they are quite profound. They capture the kaleidoscope of emotions….I read them first as you are someone I care about and so I read them with that view, then I read them thinking of the situation with Bruce and then I read them thinking of my own journey…..they simply demanded and deserved that kind of reading and finally, I just read them with my heart…..I let them wash over me and through me…..their power is undeniable.
