//// as fabric, bright frayed weave // weather-torn tail of rainbow, there is // so much in one // handful of water—though fleeting, it cradles // each textile of sky //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems . . What a dreamy time this was practicing magic with @ponderosa_and_thyme and the joyful crew assembled @casteldipotentino for this Tuscan birdsong-filled #ponderosaworkshop . To pursue artistic craft among kind and talented souls is truly a gift that keeps giving 🙌💛😊🌸💕 Thank you @anneliesvansant for the 📱 snap! 🙏
For me, #poetry carries the feeling of what I see — using language as a medium means playing with both the images that words conjure as well as the textures and rhythms that words make physically, when pronounced, and audibly, when heard. [And there’s some serious contextual nerding for you today, with love from your #poetflorist 🙋🏼‍♀️🤓🙌💕] #nectarandbloom #happysaturday
S O L S T I C E //// light fall, wind bow, the last // bar of sun a fortress of warm stone, causeway for the leap // and lilt of wondering, and there the graceful bend // of potential, like an orange rind, fragrant // and curled true //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems //// Thank you @lejardinflower and @saison_fleurie for helping catch this little moment, just an iPhone snap and untouched real light in which we were so lucky to play. What a glorious time this was! 💕💕💕@ponderosa_and_thyme #ponderosaworkshop 💕💕💕
If you’re on the fence about a big change in your life and work, I’m here to tell you that you CAN. You can, and it’s incredibly thrilling and rewarding to just pursue it, one step at a time, like a treasure hunt, even when you want to race forward and collect more than you can fit in your arms at once (🙋🏼‍♀️), even when you want to drop it all and run back to what you knew before because at least it was familiar. —— . . Years ago my mother gave me this little picture frame that had a tiny image of a person reaching into stars with the message “you will, because you can” inscribed below it. I love that little thing, still have it in a treasure chest at home, and what I want to do is offer those words to you. You will. Because you can. —— . . A little over a year ago I had just finished teaching a semester of literature and composition, moved to a new house, and was waist deep in trying to finally transform my life into that of a working artist. I had no idea then how exactly to get where I am today, just like I don’t know today exactly how to get where I want to be in a year, but that is IT. That’s how we live into our truth and give what we are meant to give in this life, by setting about reaching into stars (and doing so one step, one tool, one realization at a time). If we knew it all when we started, we wouldn’t reach anything we don’t already know. —— . . Thank you for joining me here and for all the love and support along the way. It means the world, and please remember—use it as a mantra!: you will, because you can.
