I love the way the pieces, speak to the role of nature in the creative process. Marja's narrative articulated that beautifully for me: <br /><br />'I talk about my shutters being closed, which basically is because of the constant chatter in the mind which is not always positive. When you quiet down, I believe you have access to wisdom. Everyone has it, and nature is one of the best places to quiet down and to become alive.'<br /><br />Thank you all, for sharing your thoughts and reflections and for sharing and illuminating your awesome poetic pieces. And thank you, Sherry, for all that you do for our community of poets!Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-32490468220752535142018-10-01T21:38:11.883-04:002018-10-01T21:38:11.883-04:00It is my pleasure, Gillena.
