Poems are maps to the place where you already are.

~Jane Hirshfield

poetry may be a way of seeing life……an expression of the grit and the calm…..a vantage point from where the stranger becomes a friend…..

inquiry for today~ where do you see poetry in motion? how can you feel visual poetry in the midst of a decidedly non-poetic day?

What is important is to keep our mind high in the world of true understanding, and returning to the world of our daily experience to seek therein the truth of beauty. No matter what we may be doing at a given moment, we must not forget it has a bearing upon our everlasting self which is poetry.  ~Basho
