Do things need to make sense to be meaningful? I don’t think so. This poem for self-inquiry is about not needing to know, about what it can be like to delve a little deeper into the questions without asking that they rearrange themselves into answers right away.

Trying to be as open to the questions as you are to the answers? That's about the most spiritual thing I can think of. If you're in the mood, here are some “spiritual thoughts” to feed your curiosity and awe for the great gift this whole thing called LIFE is.

Whether you love writing poetry, reading poetry, or living the poetry, here’s a bright little collection of quotes about poetry. Through poetry, I've discovered a message inside every pain, a hope that far outlasts despair. I think that's because poetry is a way to stay with something long enough to make sense of it.

Poetry heals on so many levels and for so many reasons. Here are some "mini poems" to brighten up your day. May you find sunshine where you're cold and moonlight where you're lost... light wherever you need it most.

If winter isn't your favorite season, read these poems and quotes about winter. They might just change your mind about this season of renewal, this place for more space. And a change of heart like that... is a miracle. Don’t you think that a land covered in snow is a miracle, too?

Everything is terrible, or everything is a miracle. Sometimes, both. If you'd rather see the miracles, read these affirmations for finding beauty... wherever you go. So that no matter where you go, there you are. Fully. On purpose. Even in the middle of heartbreak and other terrible things.

Your life isn't just about paying bills and getting the work done. If you need to heal your relationship with time, read this poem. It'll remind you what living in the moment means: peace, grace, the hope that life doesn't have to be so hard. It took a lot of miracle to get you here, after all. 

If you're dying for new energy, read this open letter to the universe. It'll inspire you to live the way YOU want to live, no matter what other people are doing, no matter what happened yesterday. Don't take this chance to be here, alive, for granted. Make it something that feels like magic, even when it feels like a mess.

Now is always the right time. For breathing deeper, for paying closer attention, for making the most of your time here. Read this poem about slowing down to help you connect with the beauty of your own existence. Feel your heart beating in your chest. Feel your life, while you're living it.

Whatever you think about it, life is beautiful. Even after things fall apart. Regardless of how things fall back together. You were given life. Don’t miss out on this chance. Read these words to help you honor the beauty inherent in every experience. That’s how you turn metal into gold, rubble into treasure, dark into light, pain into healing.
