This morning I went to meet with some friends at a coffee shop. This group of friends had been gathering once a month over the past year with a focus on using poetry to inspire collage as well as reflection and integration of writing and imagery.
We were meeting at this particular coffee shop this morning because it was hosting a display of art created by unhoused youth who use our church basement as a gathering space. Some of our group members had donated art supplies for this project.
There weren’t as many pieces displayed as I thought there might be but it was wonderful to see it on the wall. And it was great to see my friends and hear about their latest ventures with art, poetry and spirituality.

I read this slice with a positive envy. I am happy for you. “Using poetry to inspire collage as well as reflection and integration of writing and imagery” – this is a definition of a wonderful creative life.
