Coming to Fruition

Today I received an endorsement of my book, Marie Morrison. This was not just any endorsement...yet honestly, any received is just an accomplishment in itself.
As long as the feedback is accurate in what the reader experiences, I am happy to hear it.

I received a blurb from Maurya Simon. She is an amazing contemporary Poet who I am blessed to have learned from. Her poetry holds such beauty and preciseness, along with a lyricism that captures my heart each time. Hearing words fall from her lips is like a lullaby of sounds; she enchants me. Today, I earned more words, though this time on behalf of my own creation of work. I am simply just proud to hear from her...anything she has to tell me is, to me, the most important.

She embraced my work, and now in recollection, I am weeping. I am proud to have her in my life as a friend, muse, and someone that I forever admire. The reason I am even able to write Marie Morrison is due to her patience and strong tutelage which re-lit a fuse in my soul to continue on my path.

Maurya states that my collection of work is "compelling and thought provoking", and beyond this, believes the collection is a great debut of a "unique vision". I am greatly appreciative and simply proud of my journey. I embrace all blessings to "write on".

More Maurya Simon. <3

When everyone was quarantined, I felt like

  "When everyone was quarantined, I felt like..."           I was caged,  my cord cut,            the outside was in,       and I  wasn’t ready for that. I felt like I was out of time                 – no way to re-plan my life,  no way to be by anyone’s side. I like mapping the scene,     feel heat amongst a crowd,  and now, to stay away from them,  I have to hide. Close myself off  my nature,  to enjoy parties  dancing, all the things               feel more alive…  When that door shut, a hurricane hit. JMWC 9/22/20 from class, Panorama High School, 2020

my brain is completely flooded i've rode this train before to a journey laden in cumbersome foot-stomps catching my frolic to the ground, tumbling over some man's arms, thick-legged brawn there is a part of me that says, 'you're too old for this'... maybe to know better is to be declarative and surrender to the certainties in life. however certain and present, the tornado will  follow. it's better to live submissive instead of dismissive to the velocity of life held out in front of you... like the last banana in the fruit bowl, or that chocolate cake you just want to lick. bowl to casket. each motion a delight.

In Honor of Mother Earth

Happy Earth Month!  Right now, we see the blossoms opening, the vines ripening -- the sweet smell of Spring is here! Congratulations to everyone for making it out of the darkness, in this frigid air... the dew of the damp Earth has sprouted many blessings.  Rake up the gentle soil and bring her into your circle. Let the abundance flow into your circle; enjoy the fragrance of your harvest. I wanted to offer up this powerful song; Madre Tierra , by Maya Jupiter. Her message is steady and daring to be spoken into the ears of all who dwell on and know Mother Earth.  Speak righteously, and take care. ~ Jessica ~
