ABSTRACT
[abstract: I invite an ongoing conversation about what it means to be human in the twenty-first century. As an educator and poet, I have always been committed to holistic education because we can only live well on the earth with one another if we are devoted to living well in our own bodies, spirits, hearts, imaginations, and minds. I write poetry and essays as a way to hold out my hands in both gratitude and invitation, always seeking to make connections. In all my writing, I am seeking ways to live with wellness.]
