VERSION II

Thank you for reading! Yes, I did burn my eyes but it all worked out deliciously well in the end. 🙂

I've never considered calling anyone a "muse." - I find that the term itself is not something I relate to. I do however find sparks of pure nuclear energy in the voice and work of quite a few incredible poets. They have ignited my curiosity over the years to look deeper inward and keep writing. I'm deeply grateful to these poets, mostly women, for allowing their authentic self to lift up others so profoundly through their words. Much love and forever thanks! Thank you for reading!

I find a Sunrise as the embodiment of hope. It's regular announcement of a new day inspires me. Each new day, as I greet the sunrise I'm reminded to practice appreciation of the impermanence of all nature and because, just because of that impermanence be better and do better. I find early mornings energizing. I'm curious to hear what meaning you find in a Sunrise! Let me know if you get a chance and thank you for reading!

Thank you for reading. I truly believe the simplest way the world becomes a better place for us all is through mutual understanding and compassion. Stories have served this purpose since the dawn of time. As I write these poems, share some of the stories, I hope they land as "I see you, I love you, I care." 💌

p.s. Cosmopoesis originates from Greek: cosmos = world and poesis = creation.

Thank you for reading. We are all in need. Of something. And always. I'm finding over and over again that when I'm of service, and give of myself without expectations, without keeping dues, but with love, life itself becomes a generous giver. So I give thanks and welcome everyone to try this, in small doses at first, as much or as little as you can. And hopefully, you find as much joy in this practice as I have.

Story: this one was born out of a prompt asking to write a syllabic poem using the 5-7-5 haiku format in a sequence. My mind was busy wondering at the time, how do I learn to connect with a prayer in an intellectually honest way. How can I step out of the standard religious constructs that I've found limiting in the pursuit of genuine spiritual experience. Structure sometimes works like a charm, it brings out the inner talks into the forefront of conscious experience. Enjoy!
