wake up and / step outside
I believe each one of us is born with a unique genius, with a set of gifts and talents that is unlike anyone else's in the entire world. The poem below speaks to the danger of gifts left unused and offers an invitation to awaken to them. It was inspired by Fatemeh Keshavarz' reading of Rumi's "The World".
I hope these words warm, inspire and ultimately carry you forward in some small way.
May your week be filled with love and the steady, soft step toward home. <3

“the sea” was recently published by Shanti Arts as part of my first poetry collection Desert Heart.

Online Writers' Studio for Women
If you’re interested in receiving more writing invitations and having a place to write on a more consistent basis, you can find a new one every day and the space to see where it takes you in my daily co-writing sessions, which are just one part of the Online Writers’ Studio for women. The Studio also has regular writing workshops, weekly intuitive energy readings, and meditative writing sessions.
Otherwise, come back next week, and I’ll share another one.
