Journeying Into Poetry —
Sarah Weaver, Homilist —
Karen Christie, Worship Associate —
In our search for truth and meaning as Unitarian Universalists, we sometimes look to poetry, and its ability to suggest ideas and concepts “beyond words”. This quality means poetry can inspire us with its language and imagery, and also intimidate with its nuanced elusiveness. Sarah reflects on her own journey into poetry, what she is learning from writing poetry, and how poetry helps her cope with some of life’s challenges.
Sarah Weaver is a member of the Capital Unitarian Universalist Congregation, and served for several years on the Board. With a background in environmental work, her writing is grounded in the natural world. Both her poetry and creative non-fiction have been published in literary journals such as Island Writer. Sarah also enjoys photography, and blogs about what inspires her at https://linesfromthecoast.blogspot.com/. Her author website is https://sarahweaver.ca/
