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:

Advice for 2022…

I’ve been floundering a bit. Hard to explain it all, but then — this afternoon, in my email in-box — this arrived. I decided that I should put it where I will remember to reread it.

Happy 2022 to you. May this year make us stronger, wiser, better, and may we all live to write about it.
