Feet & Frontal Lobe: We are Capable of More than We Think

Sitting with impermanence

For a minute I consider dashing up there to grab my camera—this color is astonishing!—but I know that by the time I get back out here, the moment will have faded, and the day-to-day blue will have soaked all the rebellion from the clouds. Continue reading Sitting with impermanence

Job Title: Hole-Filler (a letter of resignation)

Writing to Heal and Finding My Breath

For me, poetry has the power to heal, to transform. It is how I shake out the cobwebs of past shame and through open the curtains to shine light upon my darkness. Continue reading Writing to Heal and Finding My Breath

"This poem is written for all of us who have been, or are currently, in the ‘Goo.’ Remember, you are not alone – this is a time-honored process, and everywhere you see a butterfly, you are seeing a survivor. There is only one way out, and it is THROUGH. The other side is so wide open."
Free to any woman and woman-identifying person! This Friday May 13 at 7pm at @elementalyogacolumbus in the Roviar Building.
