I discovered the beautiful writing and wisdom of Sybil Dana Reynolds after learning we are both featured in The Spiritual Writer’s Network anthology of poetry Illuminations of the Soul. She offers free sacred writing practices via email, and one of them is to write a vertical poem out of your name. A fun and illuminating practice. Here is what came out of mine when I sat down this morning. What poem does your name speak to you?
Alethea
A holy
Love abides within me
Each breath
Takes me
Home and
Earth becomes
A sanctuary for my heart
That is beautiful. Did it change your feeling about your name?

Thank you. I don’t know that it changed how I feel about my name, as I have always felt a deep, spiritual connection to it, as though I had chosen it, or it had chosen me, for a reason. Have you tried it with your name?

I thought about it after reading your poem, but was on the run today…I will 🙂
