If you read my second last post, you’ll know that I’ve decided to leave Instagram, but before I took the leap I wanted to finalise a new a project, something that excites me in a way social media doesn’t. And that’s a newsletter! For the past month I’ve been putting together a newsletter and it’s … Continue reading Something new is on the way…
Spring (Written by Sarah Bennett) There’s washing on the line and a poem in my heart, A fullness of joy that’s been in hiding. Was I the one who sent it away? There are walks to be had and flowers to plant, The sun filters through the windows, shining. A slow, happy day. Interestingly, I … Continue reading Spring / Poem
The classic combination of a chai tea and the promise of a new blog post. I love this feeling. The possibilities, the inspiration. Or maybe, more accurately, the want of inspiration. The creativity that comes when you begin to write. I only have one assignment left and then I’ll be free of trimester one, and … Continue reading A Spark of Creativity
I’ve never been an overly adventurous person. I like small, simple walks in nature, but not eight-hour hikes. I like going to the beach, but not going as far out into the ocean as possible. Bears are my favourite animal, but that doesn’t mean I want to meet one while I’m camping. I’ve never been … Continue reading The Pull of Adventure
I feel like I haven’t sat down and written a blog post in a while. I have the usual poems and book reviews, but not something chatty, or thoughtful. I’ve been busy, which I know is the excuse that causes the response of, you’re never too busy to write, or, you prioritise what you care … Continue reading Uni Updates

I realise I’ve been uploading a lot of poems and little else. I feel like I’m getting back in the game and need to catch up, so I’m posting an array of new and old in the hopes my blog will represent how I spend my time, what I think about, what I care about, … Continue reading Winter / Poem
In this post I mentioned how I took some old blog posts and turned them into poems. Here’s the second one, rewritten from this post. Again, I didn’t change too much, mostly just the format. Although I didn't include the entire post but contained it so the poem conveys one message. Gone (Written by Sarah … Continue reading Gone / Poem
Eight (Written by Sarah Bennett) I am so many dreams poured together, Keeping me alive. The wanting is woven into my name. I am confusion and love and what is often called naïve But is actually compassion. Forgiveness. I have been given grace so how can I not pass it on? I am the drought … Continue reading Eight / Poem
Dawn (Written by Sarah Bennett) There is a song she sings And it sounds like searching for the dawn. She is alone, awaiting the sun. The light is a whisper And it sounds like God's arms welcoming her home. I do not say it enough But with God there is hope. My favourite poems are … Continue reading Dawn / Poem
