The poet, Philip Larkin, has a solitary word inscribed on
his gravestone, ‘Writer’. One of the most-loved poets in
English language of his post WWII generation, it
summarises for me a life’s aspiration.
Once again,
see the beauty in the world,
hear the song sung for you
and know how beautiful
and resilient you are.
---D. E. Percy, 2020

Practicing the Wisdom Arts™
Can the third stage of life be
the time we claim our own
grail?
Board advisor turned Forest dweller and Soulworker
Poetry
is seeing, hearing, embodying
your soul in the everyday,
to hone what matters
on a grand scale
or on a small scale,
be that nature, loved ones, community,
or climate change, poverty, wars;
and then to offer your best gesture back.
It need not be a revolution
but a simple kindness . . .
The true gifts life has given us become clearer with age
and in return we can deliver our own gifts with abundance.
I encourage you to know and deliver all your gifts
and hope you’ll join me in this undertaking.
