“I am ever a student of forgiveness—how it is experienced, how it is wielded, [ . . .] . It is not, as I was taught, closure, but rather an opening—the beginning of complex, difficult work.”

Forgiveness was sitting in your kitchen when you got home, and now rests
elbows on the table to watch you reach for a knife.

"I had always considered myself a slow and careful writer, but shepherding someone else’s work requires attention and care I had never afforded my own work in quite the same way."

Maureen Seaton (@mseaton9) was voted Miami’s Best Poet in 2020. She passed away yesterday at 75. Through her teaching, poetry, kindness & generosity, she has touched so many people in Miami & beyond. It would be amazing to see our community pay her tribute as she deserves. ❤️
Just finished another great @HugoHouse class and am inspired to work on writing ✍�� (but I have to get ready to go to my office to do my other work; my paying work, LOL)
Thank you, @MarciCalabretta!
