Spring begins somewhere

Spring begins somewhere

by Jennifer Wolkin

but yours is a winter mind-

memory, frozen

in time.

I’ll be your hippocampus

so you can reminisce

of Hyacinth—

I’ll be your

Spring.

She is most passionate about writing at the intersection where the mind, body, brain and spirit meet - about the holistic human experience - through the eyes of both her own experience, and through her professional lens. She is touched by the profound pain that is both individually and collectively felt, how this pain can displace someone from others and their own selves, and yet, the profound capacity for resilience, healing and growth.
