As a member of The Poetry Posse, I just wanted to express what an absolute honour it has been to be part of this incredible posse this month.
Thank you for this magnificent reflection on the month of allegory. Your words beautifully express the profound shift from interpreting symbols to "practicing being human." I found myself nodding in agreement at the idea that allegory is less about "disguise" and more about "recognition," and how these poems gently asked us to cultivate such essential virtues as humility, patience, and compassion.
The understanding that "the world has always been speaking" through the creek, the orchard, the rabbit and that these are "invitations" rather than mere symbols, is a truly poignant and lasting takeaway. What an extraordinary project this has been, and what a gift to have shared in its deeper meaning with all of you.
Dorie it is wonderful to have you as one too. I am blessed indeed with my Substack Family. You are one of the kindest people I have ever know. It is a real pleasure working with you too.
