Remind Me

Remind me how to write poetry,
when I cannot see each individual tree.
When did we change the speed limit?
Can we know the whole world,
and our own serenity, too?
I see, I hear, I understand.
I see day dimming into evening,
hear cat paws pad away from empty food dishes,
understand I can always witness just my simple life,
for a moment.

Gentle, imaginative, full of honesty and wonder, her clear writing captures the sacredness of everyday moments. In addition to her growing body of published works, Heidi creates space for other writers, youth and adult, through facilitation of workshops and groups.
