#stunday #blueskyartshow “Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.” #WendellBerry #ripwendellberry

Happy #Stunday! #Alaska #WendellBerry: “We walked always in beauty, it seemed to me. We walked and looked about, or stood and looked. Sometimes, less often, we would sit down. We did not often speak. The place spoke for us and was a kind of speech. We spoke to each other in the things we saw.”

After #WendellBerry (and his daughter’s) “The Unseeable Animal” May he now find eternal rest in #thepeaceofwildthings #poem #poetry

I think God walks
in the forest. He is
the secret animal
we sense
has just been lapping
stream water
with his sticky tongue
who retreats
to a hidden glade
at the falling
our footsteps
and whose gaze
follows us as we
wander wistfully
our weary
paths. How we long
to catch a glance
of Him, to see every
beauty in every
light, yet He
must reserve
some parts of the woods
for His own wild
heart: I would, too, if I
were God, delighter
in all the secret
and hidden majestic
Life.

Question for #published #poets Has anyone forgone selling on Amazon? Is looking like I will have to ditch my Mary Oliver epigraph, even with permissions, to be able to do so. #writer #amwriting #writingcommunity #poetsofbluesky #author #authorsky

“How the end of August feels when you’re a deeply nostalgic summer girl and the passing of time makes you physically ill.” Could not have expressed it better myself. 😩 #summer #nostalgia #beauty #longing #poet #poetry #august #beach www.instagram.com/reel/DcXPoHw...

Thoughts on making your poetry book available as an ebook? I do think it makes your work more accessible. My hangup: I’m paying for rights for a quote for my epigraph and the price goes way up for ebooks. #author #poet #poetry #amwriting #writingcommunity #poetsofbluesky #blueskypoets #authorsky

I just read that 23 out of 58 men sent to WW1 from Tolkien’s 1911 Exeter College cohort did not come back. There was a 40% chance we never got Lord of the Rings or Middle Earth. <shivers> #tolkein #lordoftherings #middleearth #literature #funfact

Any other teachers out there? I cherish the gift of many slow mornings when I get to read and write and be creative, and am feeling the grief of losing that soon 😭 #teacher #education #summerbreak #amwriting #writingcommunity #sundayscaries

When you read the work of other writers, are you more likely to think: A) I can do this! B) I’ll never be that good! #poetry #amwriting #poetsofbluesky #poem #blueskypoets #writingcommunity

Yes yes yes! Reading and writing poetry helps bring shape from chaos and invites us to create and experience meaning. #poetry #amwriting #poetsofbluesky #poem #blueskypoets #writingcommunity

I am an Enneagram 4, which means I get sad about things that aren’t over yet. Is it too early to be working on a poem called “Grief At Summer’s End?” 😆 #amwriting #writingcommunity #poetsofbluesky

The minutes before me are set aside for such creating. So consecrate this space and these moments, O Christ. Meet me in this hour as I hover over this chaos of raw materials and unrealized ideas. ~From “A Liturgy to Begin the Day’s Creative Labors” #amwriting #writingcommunity

I’m excited to share that I will have a full-length book of poetry published with Kelsay Books this upcoming fall. This is a major milestone I’ve been working towards, and hopefully the first of many! #amwriting #blueskypoets #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #poetsofbluesky #poetry

Slanted figures moved up and down the rolling ridge line. I turned a corner and the birds hidden in the field scattered as if I had disturbed a secret meeting. I held out my hand for the butterfly, but he was interested in everything else. #stunday #smallpoemsunday #amwriting

Another morning and I wake with thirst for the goodness I do not have. I walk out to the pond and all the way God has given us such beautiful lessons. Oh Lord, I was never a quick scholar… grant me, in your mercy, a little more time. #maryoliver #blueskyartshow #blueskymonday

What does the rainforest remember of an earth that was empty and formless, now with its canopies of stringing moss and slanted sunlight sneaking through the green wrappings of every tree? #stunday #smallpoemsunday #pacificnorthwest #amwriting #blueskypoets

Before I even open my eyes, the warmth is already dissolving into the sheets, and in the space next to me, she who was just there is gone. The soft hairs on my skin lift and remember. My body shivers. With my hand I hold my other hand. #poemsabout #undertheskin @thebrokenspine.co.uk

How do you say goodbye to a place that grew like a tree inside of you, whose roots and branches became intertwined with personhood and memory? -a question I’m trying to answer in a series of essays about family, nostalgia & grief #wednesdayWIPs #amwriting #memoir #grief
