This week, my special guest and I share our common love of poetry. Read Garry\u2019s bio in his own words.\nAs an educator, poet and runner I am a lifer. I have the blessed opportunity to create new works and compete in my sport (Track & Field) in my upcoming 80thtrip around our Sun.\nI believe writing is precursor to thought, not the other way around. Poetry is an invitation to advance our thinking and deepen our feelings about the world we live in. It is a sharing of truths, your truth, my truth, the truth of our human experience. A good poem will celebrate these truths with a style and grace that exists in every tongue spoken on our planet.\nTo see more of my work including popular blog series What I Did on My Covid-19 Vacation, New Poets Wednesday and the Bernice and Garry series, go to my website:\nhttps://www.garrycox.com/\nVisit www.everyday-excellence.com\nand use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.\nSupport this podcast with a monthly donation:\nhttps://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support\nor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:\nhttps://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
