Just this week I heard for the first time Steven Wilson Jr.'s song "Grief is only love" and I've been meditating on that idea. For me, grief is finding a place to go, as it were, in poetry.

I am searching for my voice. My first few posts have included leadership lessons, transitions, and real-life happenings. I'm looking for "the thing" that calls to me because the words flow so easily when I have it. If I find myself trying too hard, it tells me this is not the proper subject, not the right time, or not my voice.
