Writing poetry is a powerful way to digest emotions and confusion.
Toss your feelings on a page and move the words around.
Turn your pain into art.
Best for the brain when done in longhand.
How often do you journal or write poetry?

Top 3 reasons late bloomers bloom late
My practice is full of late bloomers.
They tell me, "I KNOW I have something in me. I'm not sure what it is but I KNOW I'm not doing it."
They are HURTING.
Here are the top three hurdles I find getting in their way.

Old meditation traditions put one through challenging situations—heat, cold, isolation, stress.
The goal is to get tired of suffering and give up the habit.
You'd think, with all that modern life puts us through, that we would also be inclined to let go of our habits of suffering and simply be!😄

Writing poetry or journaling can be very healing.
(Research agrees!)
Writing allows us to process and digest what's happened, bringing new insights to challenging events.
Poetry is a pithy presentation of those proceeds.
Do you write poetry to process life?

As January flees, inviting February,
I review the freeze I seemed to put on every
Resolution freely made but never married
To my day’s routines. I know that my contrary

Take off to fly New Jersey skies
Are the lonely clones that make more bees,”
