A Found Festival Poetry Showcase

The answer to “Where we come from,” often becomes a question of “What have we left behind?”

All Ages

The answer to “Where we come from,” often becomes a question of “What have we left behind?”

Perhaps as we travel through life, we act as seedpods for the place/ plant from which we are born(e). We carry kernels of our origins along with us, buried deep within our bodies. Depending on what we choose to nurture and nourish, we shift the spaces in which we dwell and occupy. We make impact and imprint on the lives of those we touch. All that we leave behind with or without purpose provides fertile ground for new beginnings in this garden that is our world.
