    Written by Filippa Marullo Anzalone

  • The Gift of Compassion

    This fall, our Sacred Threads community gathered around a shared theme: Nourishing Our Compassion. Through conversations with authors, spiritual guides, and one another, we explored what compassion looks like in real life—how it begins within, how it shapes our relationship with the earth, and how it calls us toward those living at the margins.

  • "Music" Anne Porter

    When I was a child
    I once sat sobbing on the floor
    Beside my mother’s piano
    As she played and sang
    For there was in her singing
    A shy yet solemn glory
    My smallness could not hold…

  • "Everything is Waiting for You" By David Whyte

    Your great mistake is to act the drama
    as if you were alone. As if life

  • "A Poem for Autumn" By Gladys Harp

    I am rich today with autumn’s gold,
    All that my covetous hands can hold;
    Frost-painted leaves and goldenrod,
    A goldfinch on a milkweed pod,
    Huge golden pumpkins in the field

    Golden apples heavy on the trees…
