As part of our post-meditation and discussion experience – every 4th Tuesday we are including a “Poetry Pocket”.  Poetry and meditation are kindred ventures – both bring us closer to the present, to what is happening now. Both help freshen our outlook, perhaps freshen our lives.
 
If so moved, have ready a poem of your own or one that speaks to you. We will read a few aloud and then have a brief discussion (focusing – not on whether we like them or not, but more with an eye to how/if they help us awaken!)  If poetry is “not your thing”, of course you can sign-off or just listen in to what others are sharing.
 
We encourage attendees to bring a poem to share with the group.

If you have a poem in mind in advance, and it’s convenient, you may also zap it to Robert Lovitt ([email protected]) and he will try to display it on our screens as it is being read aloud. Ours is a linage of poets and poetry, let’s get soaked in a warm rain of poetic wisdom (and/or just have some darn fun with it!).
