Burning Love

This poem was written in response to the Soberanes Fire, the costliest in U.S. recorded history, which has raged in our area for well over a month and is still not extinguished.  

These words emerged in response to looking for a spiritual perspective to dealing with a natural disaster of this magnitude, the ongoing threat of possible loss of my home and property, the sadness at the destruction of life and living in dense smoke for weeks on end.

    In my youth I wanted to be a poet, but channeled my writing skills into journalism -- a much more practical pursuit. I worked for daily newspapers and magazines for over 30 years as a writer and editor, focusing on food, interior design, art and architecture. As my spiritual life began to occupy a bigger and bigger part of my life, I came full circle and finally began to write poetry. My passion is to express the sacred through writing, art and music and to help others do the same.
