“There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it.”

Gustave Flaubert

Robert Penn Warren said, “[I]n the end, the poem is not a thing we see – it is, rather, a light by which we may see – and what we see is life.” This week, look for the poetry, the emotional echo, in an object, a place, or an event this week. “We all write poems,” said John Fowles, “it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words.”

Nourish peace, cultivate lovingkindness, and carry the calm.
