Welcome. The main intention of this site is to offer a space where you will be warmed, nourished; accepted. The poems are offerings. If you or someone you love could be companioned, consoled, met, or helped to feel less alone by the sharing of any one of the poems you find here, then please pass one along as a gift from Me, to You, to Another, as we extend the hand of compassion and companionship into the heart of the world-the One Heart that we all share.

On this site, nothing is required. You can read poems or listen to them, or both at the same time. You can sign up for a monthly newsletter that provides upliftment through teachers and teachings I have found helpful, music and musicians I find nourishing, as well as meet special guests that might just make you smile. You can follow a link to my blog, where I share thoughts about what's happening for me individually and to us globally, and offer skillful means to move through this era with more gentleness, and ease. You can visit the first blooms of art I have produced this year as my latest joyful expression that carries the poetry within it. As well, you can join in an altruistic outreach that may help you to feel connected, and awakened, and empowered, in an era where the personal and collective challenges are so great that sometimes it's all we can do to remember to tie our shoes or to brush our teeth - we're living in extreme times, and much is being asked of each of us.

But let your time here be gentle. Let this place be one place that asks little of you, but supports you to find your center; regain your balance; remember your True Self.

I believe we are all in this Mystery together and that we need one another-to reflect the many surfaces of divinity in all its individual forms, and to show us our unique qualities, rare gifts and preciousness.

The word "God" appears often throughout the poetry, as well as Beloved, The One, Divinity, and more, because the name God has become easy and familiar to me as I have finally and over many years found my own understanding and association with a higher guidance and a profound source of goodness, even though I could as easily say Life, Love, Higher Self, The Friend, The Presence, The Tao and so on. I find that the word "God" also leaves little confusion regarding what I am referring or appealing to when it appears in the poetry.

Let me say this: Give any name to That Source which calls to you, but let it never separate us from one another. There has been far too much of this already, and the planet and its people need desperately for all of us to simply Love.

I hope that you will find a poem here that might be a lantern in the window to which you have just led yourself, for reasons that your own Self and Soul know.

You are Love; You are Loved,

Em Claire
