I've found real magic in thinking on the page in the last year. I'd love for more people to experience this with me.

"When I sit down to write, the meadow is still engulfed in darkness under a sky where satellites pass by, one after the other. My thoughts are flighty and shapeless, like dreams; they morph as I approach them. But when I open my notebook and write, it is as if I pin my thoughts to the table. I can examine them." - Henrik Karlson

After poet Andrea Gibson passed away this week, I realized that poetry and sensuality are deeply intertwined. Both require "masterful sensitivity" and the courage to feel everything, including pain. I believe most people don't realize they're poets, and by tuning into all nine of our senses (not just the basic five,) we can live more sensually and honor the brief, beautiful time we have in these bodies ⚠️Content Warning: Death/Mortality Discussion, Grief/Loss, Mental Health, Body Image Resources Mentioned: - Etymology of Sensuality
