Separately and together they have helped me savor the beauty of nature, the warmth of friends and family and my inner strength and courage. They give space and self-compassion for feelings of anger and sorrow that have lead sometimes to a sense of common humanity and compassion for others. Poetry and mindfulness give me a deeper, more heartfelt perspective of what is happening on my hero’s journey.enPoetryMindfulnessResearch methodsPedagogyBook Chapter2020-01-13https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
