My 10 minute social media overview for the day:
Virus, virus statistics, ageism, politics, Hollywood, rants about this, rants about that, strange attempts at humor, question of the day: Are we all mentally ill?
That’s when I needed a shift in direction and started looking for poems about “stillness.” I don’t have the rhyme in me today. But this poem, which I found on my search, is perfect. It says it, just the way I feel it. That’s what poetry does, right? “It says it, the way we feel it.” Write a poem today. Say it how you feel it. It’s that simple. Poetry is emotion in word form.
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
Check out Glennon Doyle’s podcast “We Can Do Hard Things”. She’s posted two episodes in the past week that focus on stillness.
Oh, timely! Thank you.
