“I heard it hitting the high leaves, and I was happy,
watching it happen without it happening to me.”
~ Marie Howe, The Copper Beech
We met this week to share poems about Solitude. There are so many ways to experience solitude – it can be isolating or nourishing and anything in between!

I’ve added some links where I could to the poems, poets or books if you would like to explore.
