The Child Poet

February: On LifeFebruary 12Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Wendell Berry's poem "How to Be a Poet."It is a curse, not to grow old, but to grow up.We can all be poets in how we live our lives.We all start as poets, it's just that sometimes we forget.Watch a child in nature--she is the truest poet. Learn and remember.Leave your screens and your wires. Breathe the fresh air and feel the grass.May you ever grow old, but never grow up.Reflection title: The Child PoetCreative inspiration: Wendell Berry, "How to Be a Poet"Reflection Question: Let me remember to be a poet today by writing my poem here and now.
