Deborah, this is the gift I needed without knowing I needed it. You not only took me back to San Francisco, where I came of age, you brought me to the shores of poetry I knew nothing about till now. I loved both of Dickman's poems and will look for more of his exquisite work. Thank you for sharing this "sighting" with the rest of us. You have made my day with this!
Greetings from the beautiful "White City" of Arequipa, Peru!
I love these two poems, Deborah. They speak openly, and honestly, and bare their soul to the human condition - the love of being alive, and the acceptance of our flaws.
The slow dance to step back and take it all in with a deep, leisurely inhale and relaxing exhale that slows our heart rate and reminds us to take the time to enjoy the little things in life that make us unashamedly human. 💜
Thank you, Michael. It's always so rewarding to share things I love with those who feel the same way about them. I appreciate your letting me know how they struck you.
Oh my! How exquisite! Thank you so much for posting this. I need to listen to it many times and make it a part of me. YOur post was my introduction to Matthew Dickman. I look forward to more.
I'm so glad his poetry moved you as it did me. I did look at some of his newer poetry, and while quite nice, they didn't hit me the same way. But that's true for every poet I love, even Dickinson and Oliver and others. Thanks for sharing this in a note too.

I'm so glad, Andrew. That makes my day too!
