If it’s a change of pace you’re desperately craving, that’s a beautiful thing! Change is messy and can be disheartening at times, but it’s what we’re here to experience: EVERYthing. Here are some poems and notes to help you embrace what’s in the works.

In all the busy-ness of world, when do you allow yourself to stop spinning? This moment is your life, certainly, but how to feel as though you are truly alive, breathing in the life energy that makes the breath possible? Let these poems remind you to pause, connect, and immerse yourself in the miracle of being here.

You get closer to wholeness by living mindfully, in connection with the energy all around you, with a sense that you’re supported in being who you most need to be. This poem highlights vulnerability, curiosity, and intention as wellsprings of support. Read it, and feel like you’re flowing instead of struggling.

In the name of love—that is, living a life you're deeply engaged with—here are three short poems about starting new as your best (or at least better) self. If you want your life to be different, then you need to connect your desire to the people, practices, and beliefs that mesh with this new reality.

To journey through the world and live with love as we go is a devotion, and nothing less. Here’s a poem about loving like we are breathing, written with intention because it is something the world needs, something we all need.

Through poetry, we enter life consciously, with clarity of mind and a steadier heart. If you can't write the poem, then be the poem. Read these short nature poems, penned with springtime in mind, to embrace whatever season you’re in - for a season that's brimming with whatever it is you most want and need.

This isn’t just a poem about creativity; it’s a poem *for* creativity. The intention here is to move inward and welcome something new to come through you and whatever work you're trying to do. A key to creating with delight and ease, whatever our work and “why” might be, is to be deeply, sincerely inspired.

This is a poem about feeling small but knowing you have the potential to be so much bigger than you've ever allowed yourself to be. This is a poem about garnering the courage to live close to your vulnerability. And making life new. It’s a poem about being yourself in all your glory, really.

As I do my best to keep hope alive after my brother's death, I get the sense that the love we shared isn’t going anywhere. I've loved, but in some way, I haven't lost. There’s still pain, but also a lightness. If you want to feel lighter after loss, read this poem. It's for you, and the person you still love.

Read this short spring poem to celebrate your connection to every season (especially the one you're in right now). It might just wake you up to the flowers that haven't even bloomed yet, and the ones that haven't bloomed in centuries. When you're here, now, you're part of everything that has ever been or will be.
