Today is Red Planet Day, a good day to liberate the astronauts once again.

At the beginning of Autumn, an urgency to read @cherylstrayed ‘s Wild struck me suddenly, so I began reading and raving about it, especially to my yoga classes: lessons in letting go, allowing the universe to do what it does, learning how to react to everything out of our control, and discovering who we are at every moment.

Current ailments: lower back, hips, thighs, right wrist, right thumb, left wrist, right foot, left foot (from the Great Mystery Illness of earlier this year when I didn’t realize I was sick until day three simply because I rarely get sick to the Very Unnecessary Surgery of July, this little body has been going through it, quite resiliently)

Words go here. As a poet, I usually have a lot of them, and I’m all for making some up, too. Still, in this moment, none come to mind to describe what I’ve felt this year as the first Poet In Residence for Cedarmere.

Some positive reinforcement for creative folks appears in Your Art Will Save Your Life by Beth Pickens. The advice appears between descriptions of specific political climates and shows how creativity and politics can work together, but if that’s not your bag, that’s okay. The author suggests to take what works for you and leave the rest for someone else, which is the same advice I offer in life in general. Creatives, keep creating.

A belated thanks to Skink Beat Review for giving my #poem a home. Read “Scenes From The Setting” in its entirety on page 7 of the June 2022 issue.
