I wrote this spoken word poem in 2017 when I was navigating an ‘in-between’ space in my career. Just like me, this poem has morphed and changed throughout the years. I’ve added and removed stanzas, changed words, and have allowed it to develop and grow with time.
Much gratitude to David Morin, host of the Art 2 Heart Podcast, for putting this together. I shared this poem as part of our conversation on his podcast.
We discuss how a daily creative practice can be a guiding light to bring you back to yourself and your deepest desires, how to befriend your intuition, and practices to become more comfortable in the liminal, in-between spaces of life. I share how making handmade cards for 100 consecutive days lead me to change career paths, how poetry is a container for processing grief and other complicated emotions, and the blessings that come from carving out space to make or play daily. May you be inspired to play with boredom, honor your intuition, and be brave enough to follow where it leads you.
