Welcome to Week 17 of Sunday Spark!
All subscribers of my Substack page (both paid & free) are receiving today’s Sunday Spark. I hope you enjoy.
Please click on the below link/button to be taken to this week’s audio offering. But first, check out the “Kindling.” (Also below.)
If you feel called to get some ink on the page, be sure to read the writing practice guidelines (found when you click the below link) before you get your pen moving.
After you listen to today’s poem, notice which lines most speak to you. You could also choose a single word from the poem, or begin writing from an image/memory to spark your writing…
This week’s suggested prompt:
The heart, still a knot, remembers…
Enjoy. And thank you so much for being one of my people.
With an abundance of love & gratitude,
Julia xo

This Week’s Kindling
For this week’s kindling, I am happily sharing this gorgeous ( & fun & spicy!) poetry album by poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer (poetry) & Steve Law (music).
Enjoy!
Risking Love

Words on Rosemerry’s website….
Flirty. Smart. Electric. Raw. Join Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer and guitarist Steve Law as they launch “Risking Love,” an intimate album of poetry and guitar that explores how we might fall more deeply in love with the world as it is, even when that seems impossible. At a time when bad news seems to charge the air, falling in love has never been more important—with the earth, with each other, with ourselves, with the divine. Playful and provocative, it’s a strong dose of soul medicine—like whiskey, like honey, like straight-up joy.
Available for download on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, or anywhere you listen to music. Or, to support the artists, purchase the album on Bandcamp.
