What does control have to do with the creative process? How could a poem really save you? How might we fall more deeply in love with the world as it is? These are some of the questions I muse about with poet/radio host/friend James Navé on his radio show Twice 5 Miles. Recorded last week, the hour contains lots of practical ideas for writing and meeting the self that might rather hide … I hope you enjoy listening!
Dear Rosemerry,
I admire how prolific you are, and your use of metaphors. You inspired me to write a poem or prose each day since March of 2020.
You capture the positive…I like that very much. I am positive and like to encourage. One of these times I hope to register into one of your classes on writing more with metaphors. (They fill fast ) I did listen to one of your
Talks. I seem to be more of a narrator, straight talker poet. If that means anything. 🙂
Keep writing. 🙂

Ruth, thank you so much for this lovely comment! Congratulations on your writing streak! I imagine by now you have discovered how writing the daily poems changes EVERYTHING about the way we might meet the world. It’s what keeps me writing every day.
Here’s to the encouragers!
I hope to meet you in a class soon–I am taking a break from teaching for a while–have a big project to work on. Though I bet I give in and lead a few soon because, well, I love it soooooo much and I’ll miss it too much to stay away! I’ll be looking for you!

Rosemerry, best to you on your new project. Have a joyous Christmas. I don’t know your religion, but can tell you are a spiritual woman. Your love of the natural world, the calm in your poetry yet full of passion and goodness, radiate. And thank you so much for responding to my comments. Please don’t feel you must respond to my response..hehe..a busy time of year. I. Too, am busy. I look forward to a new class sometime in the new year. Ruth Reno
