Hi Divergents,

Seasons are changing and spring is springing. Can you feel it?

I look forward to bigger writing projects in the future, but I find myself sneaking poems in here and there. It’s been a fun evolution, these past few years. A loved one suggested I release a poetry collection. It hadn’t occurred to me that I would be one to release a poetry book. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t, but the seed has been planted and I reflect on that possibility.

Writing poetry has been an emerging joy.

Here is one from the annals:

My house is being cleared

By thieves & hurricanes

But the "Guesthouse" reminds:

Be open to gifts of all variety.

Even those that tenderize

beyond recognition.

Go deep to the bones.

Let the studs be laid bare.

Attend to the rot & termites

Build back more spacious,

More inviting, & more familiar

Let Love build your house.

// Let Love

Rooting for you!
