I’m a poet and a homeschooler. That means our house is full of books!
Most mornings, you’ll find me at my desk. Coffee in hand, candles + twinkle lights lit, journal open.
Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books.
Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens.
from What We Need Is Here
Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way
Any child who can spend an hour or two a day, or more if he wants,
with adults that he likes, who are interested in the world and like to talk about it,
will on most days learn far more from their talk than he would learn in a week of school.
We read books to find out who we are.
Beauty and grace are performed whether or not we will or sense them.
The least we can do is try to be there.
