A Conversation with Oneself Begins*
"I sense that I am in the tree, and the tree is in me."
-Karol Jozef Wojtyla
Today is the birthday of a poet who became a Pope.
Karol Wojtyla was born outside Krakow, Poland in 1920.
His story is well- known.
Can we ask a saint to help us write a good poem, a new poem,
a true poem?
Yes.
"A Conversation with Oneself Begins." Now your turn, begin.
*poem title from The Place Within (The Poetry of Pope John Paul II)
