Good morning. It is a strangely lovely day here. We have steady rain, but not the fearsome winds, and angry noises that sometimes come with late summer storms in Florida. It feels cleansing and like a reset, like a “cooling off” period. Sundays are devoted to poetry on the blog. Here is my poem that I wrote this morning (write a poem today. Poems can often be an emotional cleanse or a cooling off period for our souls.):
When I have considered what I have given birth to in my life:
My children, my devotion to my lover, my writing and insights,
My experiences planned and unplanned, my habits and choices,
The places and animals who I claim as my safest rest spaces,
My depths dared to be shared with my dearest friends,
My curious exploration of my connection to the natural world and beyond,
These are my life, my world, my heart, my loves, my history, my offerings . . .
I am so deeply grateful to be part of the wild nobility of womankind,
For we unabashedly give brave birth to every facet of the whole of life,
And we bear the beauty, mystery, sufferings, joy and awe of everything which we’ve brought forth,
With a solemn strength and sacrifice which comes with our dignified vow,
To open our hearts to be the willing vessels of co-creation with the divine.
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
Here is the question of the day from 3000 Questions About Me:
2918. Have you ever written a love letter?
