Awaken. Heal. Inspire.
I forgot to post these earlier in the week.
Our granddaughter Millie turned 4 on November 16th!
This year has been a doozy but time keeps on moving forward.
And it’s moments like these that I’m reminded that even without a family Thanksgiving, all is well.
Even if we can’t have Christmas, all is well.
Jeff Goldblum famously said in Jurassic Park, “Life finds a way.”
It does, and it’s full of pigtails and 4-year old smiles.
Amid the din
Between the drops
Of rain and pain
She pauses
To obtain and retain
The words that fall
On open ears
All is well
All is well
All is well
In her holy work of unlearning
What enters her space
Is wholly sacred
Both fear and hope residing
Side by side
And she allows each its existence
As they walk beside her
In her times of discontent
And loneliness
Her light never does go out
Sometimes the quiet shining
A flicker in the darkness
Is all she needs to feel her way
Coffee stains
Don’t fix the pain
Of wanting what she cannot see
And her heart leaps
As it tries to keep
In sight what she cannot see
Her life,
A love letter unfolding
With each word pressed
On lips pursed with anticipation
And hope
