My opening poem Show Me The Armorer has gotten good reception. Thank you. It was a interesting and terrifying experience producing it, a childbirth it was. We will see what is next for the poetry. Ideas are floating by.
At the hospital today to get a treatment. Art, a friend from Teleios, the Bible Study guys, was here to keep me company. People come while I am tethered here. All part of the salon that is Phil’s Camino.
I have decided to just let the poems happen as they happen and not be on any schedule or it be part of a discipline. I wish I could write one a day or once a week but that seems forced.
Maybe we could post other people’s poems if they are inspirational and fit in.
Out of steam for now. Thanks for stopping by. Love, Felipé.
Dear Felipé, I hope that your steam has come back to temperature and pressure within. I appreciated your poem – the birthing of the beast – how can words be used for communicating deep stuff?
It is a coincidence perhaps that Krista Tippet featured a 2016 conversation with David Whyte where he talks about poetry, reads some of his and covers some good ground. It might be a good listen when you are made to sit still for an hour. I listened to it while walking to town and back today. Just his voice was a massage for my over-fed and under-exercised brain on this 2nd day of the year.

Enjoy!
PS: I want to walk the Camino with Krista one day…
Thanks Ronaldo!
