Happy National Poetry Month

April is the month officially set aside as Poetry Month, though we know poetry transcends time. Lovers, liars, loners, all those full of passion, desiring to live, fly, grasp what they really are continue to thrive on poetry by word or movement.

 Yes, celebrate by reading some of your favorite or some new poetry. Go to poetry readings; read your own works. Enjoy the Austin International Poetry Festival April 23-26. Or attend a festival in your area.

But also celebrate by living just a little larger this month.  And maybe even a little larger next month. You are more and you can grasp more, thrive in it.
