Poetry has its own laws speaking for the life of the planet. It is a language that wants to bring back together what the other words have torn apart.

Linda HoganA woman once described a friend of hers as being such a keen listener that even the trees leaned toward her, as if they were speaking their innermost secrets into her listening ears. Over the years Iโve envisioned that womanโs silence, a hearing full and open enough that the world told her its stories. The green leaves turned toward her, whispering tales of soft breezes and the murmurs of leaf against leaf.
