The pain of the new
Is not nearly so painful
As the pain of staying in a place
Outgrown long ago
Disarmed by that knowing
She knowingly accepts
A new vision of herself
Daily Bliss – June 29
Daily Bliss – June 25
Letting go
Is not her natural response
Holding tight
As the last strings slip
Through gripped yet tired fingers
Almost willing yet still holding
She’s exhausted
Daily Bliss – June 24
These long days
And sleepless nights
The vast unknowing in her mind
All leading her to the brink
Of new awareness
Like a caterpillar slowly emerging
To find that nothing was in vain
Daily Bliss – June 23
Just notice
Notice your slight headache
The snoring dog
The background hum of electronic household devices
The patter of rain against the window
The voice below the din whispering
Now
Now
Now
Daily Bliss – June 22
What if she changes course
And it doesn’t kill her
Or anyone else
Or any other thing that may have felt
Its own life and livelihood
Depended on her staying put
Daily Bliss – June 19
Just like the clouds that breeze by
She changes
And the vision looks different
From every angle
And bears a message just for her:
The shift is what you make it
