A few offerings to lift your thoughts
This morning I cracked open another poetry book that proves resistant to being read quickly. But I also found a new post from blogger Deborah Brasket, waiting patiently for me in my voluminous gmail.
Brasket turns to the poetry of Czeslaw Milocz to find direction and comfort in our difficult times.
Two other bloggers, or, I guess, sub-stackers, that I read regularly are Richard Rohr (you can find his daily meditations here: https://cac.org/tag/richard-rohr/ ) and Parker J. Palmer, whose Living the Questions always encourages me (find him here: https://parkerjpalmer.substack.com/.
Completely by accident — I was searching for the source of a quote from Lorene Niedecker — I came across this:
Thank you so much, Bethany. (And I didn’t realize Parker Palmer was still alive. That’s wonderful. He wrote so well, back in the day, about the real purpose of a liberal arts education . . .)
Do you have any details on that incredibly beautiful depiction of the dove?
Oh, I see. Every illustration on Deborah Brasket’s site is extraordinary. Are they hers? Where is she finding them? Does she ever say?
If you explore, you’ll see — yes, she is also an artist!
Many thanks for sharing my blog post!
Thank you, Deborah, for keeping the flame of my hope alive.
