And I think I wrote as a way to remember and define particular moments. It was a way to capture and explore my experience. I wrote to express my feelings, which in my training were rarely validated, and always suspect. That's when I saw that I had a book. What I have learned with time is that, at least for me, feelings don't lie.
Feelings are the language of the spirit.
When I look inside, when I listen to myself, I learn where the soul work is at any given moment. I think we are created to love. But we do that very poorly most of the time. Soul work is about becoming more aware of spirit in my life, and trying to let my own spirit be seen. When I shared the poems with friends, they were well received.
