Last week Stephen shared with us the excitement of being a part of YGG and how we honor the tradition of storytelling. My friend, Jennifer Grace, has written a poetry book. She types out and puts together by hand these books to share her story. Her written words are very powerful and I can feel myself in many of her poems. As a collaborative effort, I wrote my thoughts that her work provoked in me in the margins. Over the next three days, we will be sharing one poem from each section of her book.Just as it states at the beginning of the book, there is space in the margins for reflection. If these word inspire you, I hope you will use our page as the margins and share thoughts and feeling.
The first piece is from the section Simple Thoughts and a Severed Soul
Grace does not yet have a website or electronic payment option; however, if you would like to send her or show her support in any way, please email her directly. It is a goal for her to accept financial support to implement her writing in group settings for the purpose of connection, healing, and growth. sharing_minds@yahoo.com
