ABOUT

Together In Beauty was a phrase that came to me during my mother's transition from this earthly plane to wherever comes next. She was a lover of beauty; poetry in motion. And she instilled this love in me. When she died, I had the sense that wherever she would go - and wherever I would stay - we would always be together in beauty.

​

Years later, I still struggled to find meaning in how and why she left so unexpectedly. One morning as I was walking the dogs, a line of poetry came to me. Then another, and another. Soon a whole poem had been written in my mind, and I couldn't wait to get home to put the words on paper. I had never written a poem before.​

​

Suddenly poetry flooded my consciousness. I felt taken by a spirit that ran through and for me, healing me with her grace. Writing has become something that isn't a choice but an answer to my heart's longing to feel everything. And it continues to be a sensuous experience that brings me closer to the divine within; helping me to access answers known only by my heart. 

​

Poetry keeps me honest and vulnerable. And most of all, it keeps me free. What a joy to share these words with you.
