Every Sunday until September I’ll be pulling a (virtual) card from the Universe Has Your Back deck and reflecting on it.

I am the dreamer of my dream

Between the heat, the hospitalisation of a relative and my first week back at work I felt so ready for this weekend. Yesterday I wrote an email to Tom on my identity as a poet. The theme of identity gives me a lot to unpack. Although I would like to consider myself a creative/artist/writer/poet I feel reluctant to say it out loud. I had been reflecting on identity in my latest OCA module Arts & Environment. So when I heard from Tom again I felt it was a good time to think about my identity as a poet; particularly why I find it difficult to admit to writing poetry.
