Finding and Creating

Sanctuary

It will come if it is there
and if you will let it come.

Gertrude Stein

Genuine poetry can communicate

before it is understood.

T. S. Eliot

...all I ever wanted to do

was paint light on the walls of life.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Poetry is when an emotion

has found its thought,

and thought has found words.

Robert Frost

My role as a poet is as a healer.

Poetry is a healing force.
