When we are attuned, nature is our teacher: at times subtle; at times brazen. From her we learn the bitter lesson of how to release what we’d prefer to keep.

The way sailors navigate by starlight, poets and writers navigate by love. Marguerite Porete, a medieval French mystic, wrote The Mirror of Simple Souls, a work of poetry and prose claiming one could know God without organized religion. She was burned at the stake and would not recant. #ETSF #poetry

May we speak to one another with the patience of poetry and the spontaneity of bodies in motion.

The very act of reading a poem is a communion with the poet; by the time the poem has been read, the appeal has been answered.

This poem begins and ends with the speaker’s appeal to the beloved: “Come as you are.” As the poet reiterates the entreaty, so too must each of us coax the self away from self-consciousness, again and again. (1/2)
