CONNECTION
Poetry For Now
07/11/20 • 11 min
We are connected to everything in many ways and we don't always recognize that experience at the time. These poems explore our relationship with the moon, animals, people, our Self and events. At another, deeper, level we have control over how we experience and how we see the world when we connect to our spiritual, inner Self. At the same time we have little control over what the universe has in store for us! 2 poems on these topics are: SURE AS I AM & SET BACKS. Kassandra plays an ancient five beat rhythm on her gongs, towards the end of this podcast.
A WANDERING WEEK IN FLORIDA #2
Poetry For Now
06/26/23 • 10 min
During the second half of my State Parks trip I walked on long trails, kayaked and swam in refreshing natural springs, and learned about Florida’s enormous underground rivers and springs that feed into its aquifer systems. I hope my words paint pictures of the places, and you can find photos on my website thewalkingpoet.net
HAPPY TRAVELS
Poetry For Now

Human consciousness is amazing we can choose to be in the past, the present or the future with our memory, our breath, our will and our imagination.
Now in this turbulent time of politics and pandemics, explore how we can Beam ourselves to places of peace and delight, discovery our own Holy places. Please travel with me to some I have found in my travels around our world.
CLEANING UP
Poetry For Now
01/29/21 • 8 min
These poems are about cleaning up our lives, our email, our "ToDo" lists and perhaps even National Politics.
President Biden has been in the White House 7 days and he is cleaning up.
Let's take it one small step at a time!
A LONG TIME AGO
Poetry For Now
05/23/22 • 9 min
As a younger adventurous traveller I had many experiences and lessons to learn. These poems reflect some of those, and they are not at all in chronological order.
- The summer of 72, part 1 takes place in Colombia
- Before you know takes place in Nepal
- Greece: takes place on the Pelopennese Peninsular
CALL FOR JOY
Poetry For Now
03/24/22 • 11 min
While our human family suffers in many places around the globe, from Covid and war, Ukraine is staring us in the face. In our safe and peaceful lives here in the US we must do our best to do whatever we can to reduce pain and bring back joy soon. We cannot let despair win.
The poems include: The sun will shine! Neighborhood Gong Concert. The Joy of Bread.
"In conclusion" has suggestions for how you too can help the refugees.
DOORS, WINDOWS & HAIRCUTS
Poetry For Now
02/15/22 • 11 min
GOING WITH THE FLOW- Billy Collins, the great American Poet, suggested pick a starting subject and just keep writing, allowing it to surprise you - and keep at it until it ends. What is poetry? Good question! These poems led me to old memories and some new endings. The last poem was sparked by Mark Doly’s poem - this is your home now.
ARCHES AND CANYONS
Poetry For Now
08/17/21 • 10 min
This is the second podcast following our trip through national parks and local hikes. In this episode we are in Utah, where we stayed 5 days in Moab, exploring the area before moving on to Mesa Verde.
SEASONS CHANGE
Poetry For Now
06/22/21 • 9 min
I am sitting here in a wild Florida summer monsoon storm: rain, thunder and lightning. You will probably hear the sounds of the storm and this is a perfect backdrop for the idea that nothing physical is permanent and that everything - almost everything - is changing every moment.
You will hear poems about how technology, time and nature change AND we can create our own unique future.
EARTH DAY IS EVERY DAY
Poetry For Now
05/13/22 • 11 min
Taking care of the earth and nature comes naturally once you take a walk slowly, appreciating the plants, animals, insects and birds around you. We are lucky to have a small nature preserve on our doorstep. You will also hear Kassandra' s gong concert where she plays using the Fibonacci pattern.
