When I asked Eugene Abrams - poet, visual artist, and teacher - how it feels when he reads one of his poems aloud, he said:

"I love words, and when I'm reading it's like I'm tasting the words. And I'm just enjoying, you know?"

What a precious gift, to write, share, and read words used in such beautiful and powerful ways, especially in the service of peace and the human soul.

If you can, make time to read, listen to, and write some poetry - and see what it brings you.
