I’ve always believed in the power of poetry to explain people to themselves.*
William Seighart

Budded from the matrix of psyche, we bloom out of imaginal worlds from which we arise coded in myth and symbol.**
Jean Houston

Poems are not wasteful with their words,
Their locution is expansive and sharp,
Fullness and calling,
Honest and hopeful;
Our lives are like poems –
When the extraneous is removed, we see
both who we are and yet can be.
