Tips on Responding to Poetry:
Read (or listen to the audio link below) and allow the words to simply sit with you and sink in.

Set a timer for 5 minutes, pick up a notebook and write anything that comes to mind.

Today’s theme is nothing new - but at this time of year as the days shorten and the temperature cools, it is an important reminder. Getting outside is good for us in so many different ways and we need to not let the weather become a barrier. Likewise, the nights pulling in can make it feel like we have less time, so it’s even more crucial we focus that time on things that enrich rather than drain us.

You’ll find some tips for both at the end of this post.
