There are ink blots
in the sheets
and on my white clothes–
a cursive silence
housing
all the words
I didn’t write,
all the people
I failed to love.

Thanks for this. I receive it as a gift. A friend, Dale Power, has launched a website for her Encouragement Project. This thought-provoking poem fits beautifully with her emphasis on the importance of being intentional about authentic encouragement, and acting on our intentions. If Gale doesn’t object I will post it on the Encouragement Project site.
That would be great. Thank you. And thank you for your encouragement.
I would love it if you would share, Grant. Thank you.
