Poetry and the Genuine: Now I Become Myself
What might happen if we “quiet our need to steer the plot”? Or think about the cost of not saying “I am who I am”? Do you, too, find thoughts such as these rising from the frenetic pace with which we live our lives?
What might happen if you took some quiet time for yourself to spend with a few poems by Wendell Berry, Robert Bly, Lucille Clifton, Khalil Gibran, Mark Nepo, Rumi, May Sarton and others?
“At the end there may be no answers and only a few very simple questions” writes Jeanne Lohmann
And yet we know, as May Sarton reminds us that “all the poem is, can give, grows in me to become the song.”
At this Kirkridge Retreat, Kathleen, Amira, Eva and Michael Glaser create space and experience for you to read, write and reflect about those things that matter most to your life. Gift yourself some time on the welcoming mountain of Kirkridge to more fully experience what May Sarton may have meant when she wrote, “Now I become myself.”
