Welcome to the Flight of the Soul poetry readings with everyone’s favorite poetry loving dog Ginger..

No matter who is reading Mary Oliver’s The Journey it resonates with the truth expelling doubts and uncertainty while joining the reader in the truth… its impact taught and tender, The Journey’s inner light glows brightly guiding the listener through an often necessary story of leaving the house in which you are currently residing in search of that greater life that is calling. Leaving behind everything familiar to create the space and freedom to hear the sounds of your own voice returning to beloved recognition.

It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do–
determined to save
the only life you could save.

Practical and pragmatic, knowing and resolved… Let the words wash over you, step into your broadcast, own yourself, awash and alight and in love with “the marvelousness of being alive.

May you enter the home of your truest self allowing everything to fall away now and forever.

Lots of Love and Hugs.
