Workshops
like yours are so important. It's a way to network and connect on a
professional level, but on an artistic or creative level it goes much deeper.
You probably know this, but the people that you share your experiences with
come away with something new in their hearts, not only new tools to enhance
their writing, but an enlightenment to a different type of world...an
experience only you can share. I think of poets as gardeners of communication
and knowledge. You plant seeds and hopefully, one day you will be able to see
what will grow from them. The majority of the world has forgotten the
importance of poetry. There is an awakening happening though. We are on the
cusp of it! Keep doing what you do as long as you enjoy it. You have a gift. As
poets, we put mirrors up to the world, but we can change it too. In addition, therein
lies magic. The poems that people share with you after your workshops are
proof. It's very special…
