A poem you might just like!

I’ve written a few posts about how creativity is so important to personal growth and along those lines I decided I might start sharing a few poems.

Not only is this so that I can put my money (/pencil?) where my mouth is and show I do actually practice what I preach - but I also think the whole point of any creativity or art is to reflect our experience of being human. That’s why certain songs or books or films or artworks might just speak to us when we feel the artist has captured a feeling we know in our lives as well.

This poem is one of the favourite ones I have written. I wrote it while on a meditation retreat, after spending a short period of time walking barefoot in the gardens. And also cos bears are cool, no?!

I hope you enjoy - and if any of what I share speaks to you then please let me know. And if it doesn’t keep reading, listening and looking for those artists who caputure a bit of what you’re saying. And finally - if you have any creative expression that you would like to share - please either send it to me or let me know where to find it, I always want to know what you guys have been up to.
