Wandering Mind

What do you remember about the people you have met, the places you have traveled, and the practices that have shaped you? This collection invites readers to pause and reflect on the moments, relationships, and inner landscapes that leave lasting impressions on our lives. Through poetry, ordinary experiences become imprinted into memory in ways that soothe, awaken, and help make sense of our journeys. Poetry can help imprint these experiences into your psyche in a way that remembers, calms, and completes your travels through life. Because there is not just one way to write a poem, this collection reflects the author's use of free verse, unbound poetry, to capture every word, thing, or thought that comes to her, even when these words fail to make cohesive sense or cadence with rules, structures, and syllables. Poetry heals. It reconnects us to the deeper parts of ourselves, our spirit, memory, and subconscious—in ways that are often difficult to access in a fast-paced, on-demand world. Poems are organized by section: Practices, Postcards, People, and Pauses. Readers will gain insight into how poetry can be used as a method to remember, meditate, and heal.
