by Bridget Lowry “It is never just an ordinary day.

Who might you become?

Magnitudes of poetry are found in the simplest of spaces. While staring out the window, walking, driving, under the shower, reading a book, listening to music or washing the dishes… if you imagine each breath poetically, you will be breathing poetry before you know it, because it is already there, everywhere, you need only feel it, ​in the simplest way you can. Ally @loveletters_ransomnotes shared this inspiring morsel on IG recently, see her post below and set your imagination sailing as you hoist your own hay(na)ku. ​
