ALIGNMENT Many rivers flow into the one sea. Do not let this truth keep you from living or blind you to the truths you cannot see. You have no idea where you are going. Let yourself be led by the flow in you that knows and greets the other with open arms. Remember this ease of meeting waters who recognise each other as their own. --AC
Thanks for being here and if it feels good, I’m always up for hearing how these poems land in you either leaving by a comment below or reply email.
With love Amanda
P.S. I’m excited to be feeling the impulse again towards self publishing my first poetry collection. Some of you know this has been in the works for quite a while! It feels good to be working with that energy instead of against. I’ve learnt creative projects have their own timelines and ideas and I am learning to listen, and align my efforts, more closely with them.
Yesterday I spent time with books from my collection looking for the ones that feel aligned with the book I have in my minds eye. I’d love my book to be small enough to carry with you and be at home on your bedside table. I’m also looking for paper and fonts and layouts I love. How I’d love it feel in my hands. These little books are about the perfect size. Next week I’m collating poems and I’ll continue to share here for those of you interested in the process! xA
Can't wait for the day when I'm carrying your book of poems around...❤️
Amanda glad to join you here. I'm also looking to self-publish a poetry collection and love your "P.s. on this post. I feel many of those things too. I haven't quite figured out how to leverage substack more fully on this journey but you've inspired me!
