Living poetic lives

Originally posted on my personal blog Radical Pie: http://radicapie.blogspot.com/. 

I seek to build a family of good people who desire to lift the veil of life's frustration and fear through the experience of poetic living and creative spiritualities. Old Guard and Gatekeepers need not apply.

This is what I aim for, and I am still trying to figure out how to do it. I am also attempting to step into the world more intentionally as a poet, and a creative spirit overall, to bust down the walls that stand between you and me, and between us and God. I'm hesitant at times to talk about God because I don't want to be pushy. I intend to be invitational, for that is the only way that we can walk and work together in the fullness of our humanity. As I wrote in "Initiation," a new poem: "All of us need, not magnets in our pockets, but empty, wide spaces." And so I invite all of us to imagine together fresh ways of engaging the world that brings us together in the spirit of creative living for a new tomorrow. Poetry is one way. What are others? I welcome your comments.

Poets, artists, singers, visionaries, clergy, students, young and old who share this vision and wish to network in whatever ways emerge, contact me and let me know what you're up to and what you dream of stepping into. The world is waiting.
