Live and Work In Hong Kong

Poems come to me from many dimensions—personal, family, a friend, my community, or a world happening near or far from southern Indiana. Words grip me emotionally—as an empathy that I feel with someone else or out of my own soul. I may ponder the topic for a few minutes, or a few days, but I must write. It’s like a “tune I must play” but in poetic verse. I grab pen and paper or rush to the computer. My poetry falls in three areas. Some are “protests” of societal problems throughout the world that I cannot be comfortable with: poverty, war, unruly political institutions, lack of resources for education and health, pollution of the earth’s resources and a vast media /consumerism enterprise that sucks up our freedoms (to name a few). Secondly, I look at myself. Through topics of nature, introspection, love, and family I see changes I must make before I can help others. Thirdly, I see trends in the youth—how they band together in “online communities”, attack travesties of justice around the globe, form “lifestyle” businesses, study alternative medicine and politics, want sustainability and the right use of energy. They look not just at the “green” of the dollar but how the earth can become more balanced. I feel poetry, like music and the arts, leads us to what we “share” and “have in common.”

A Poetic R-evolution

Spectrum II

Tim Wright

When our son was born with severe and complex brain injury our hearts and dreams lay broken. We were shattered. For many others like us, life events arrive accompanied by a deep sense of loss, grief or heartache. Maybe it's a relationship breakdown, death of a loved one or the collapse of a dream. Our journey as the parents of a child with a life-limiting condition has shown us that quick fixes remain in the DIY shop. Transformation however, from within our circumstances, is not only possible but the very nature and heart of God. Through this 40-window devotional we will share how brokenness became our invitation into wholehearted living. How we discovered that brokenness doesn't necessarily need fixing but rather growth, transformation and abundance happens in the broken edges of life.
