I've been in a startlingly unpleasant mental state for the last couple of years, and recently I've turned to poetry. This group has been perfect for that.

It occurred to me this morning that there's been an idea in the back of my mind: if I can prepare myself to find joy in poetry—maybe I'll also be better prepared to find joy in the world around me.

Has anyone approached poetry this way? Any advice on how to cultivate that kind of attention?

I joined this group because I am so in awe of this game. I don't know what I want to say first except that my 10 year old son and 11 year old daughter are playing it together right now and hearing them work it out together leaves me wondering if there could ever possibly be a better activity for thier brains. So excited!
