Poetry can sometimes feel like an acquired taste, like maybe you either love it or you don’t. But what many of us find as we pursue a contemplative life is that poetry can become a helpful way to slow down and take a nice, long look. We sometimes find that poetry becomes a doorway to being able to drink in that present moment. So join us as we talk about the power of poems to aid our engagement of the world around us using our senses, emotions, and intuitions. Additional ResourcesBook: Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel SilversteinBook: The Amateur Contemplative by Li-Young LeeBook: Susceptible to Light by Chelan Harkin #Poetry#Haiku#Emotions#FeelingsFor Transcript: Go to the "Transcript" Tab.
