I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud: A memory
William Wordsworth
It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for Memory, the side of Poetry & Process where we come together to memorize poetry. We conduct this practice to engrain words of meaning into our minds, bodies and beings that will serve as a companion during our unique walks through life. While each life is unique, the situations we encounter and the emotions we face have been felt by many who have walked before us. Poems we know deeply can speak what we need to hear at the most opportune times.
For the next Two weeks, we turn our attention to a well known poem by William Wordsworth, exploring the natural world and its tie to our humanity.
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth
This is the point in our memorization process where we move the conversation to a Thread in the Chat function in the SubStack app/website. The text of the poem is posted there for paid subscribers to read and come back to. Check in today and throughout the week to hear how others in this community are memorizing the poem, the impact it is having on their week, and to discuss the themes in the poem.
