(1) The first post you see is the latest one written. To start at the beginning, scroll back through Older Posts (bottom of page) or click the desired date in the Blog Archive in right-hand column. (2) Because this is a draft – and because all sorts of family background stuff keeps insisting on creeping in – although I'll try for coherence, some bits may seem to be told out of order, and some may be repetitive.

Telling My Story

 




I’m a poet, a witch, a healer and a psychic medium. People wonder how I came to be those things. I have been asked many times for my story.


They don’t wonder so much about the poet; it’s the other things that intrigue them. Yet to me the poet is the most important aspect of me; it’s my vocation, my identity, and my soul. It’s the thing I can’t not do. (How good a poet I am or am not is beside the point. Though I seek to be as good as I can.) 


I think my poetry and all those other things I’ve listed were born in me. But that’s not the whole story; they might have lain dormant. That they didn’t is due to a number of people who influenced me, taught me, and inspired me.


I’m thankful for them all.
