I'm feeling uncharacteristically out of words this week - lots of deadlines/chores/To-Do's to attend to... and never enough time in which to accomplish...
For now, a Valentine's Day dedication will have to suffice - for my three amazing children-turned-adults... <3
BOOK: Parenting From Your Heart: Sharing the Gifts of Compassion, Connection, and Choice by Inbal Kashtan
POEM: Seeing, in Three Pieces by Kate Knapp
POEM: Seeing, in Three Pieces by Kate Knapp
Somehow we must see
through the shimmering cloth
of daily life, its painted,
evasive facings of what to eat,
to wear? Which work
matters? Is a bird more
or less than a man?
*
There have been people
who helped the world. Named
or not named. They weren't interested
in what might matter,
doubled over as they were
with compassion. Laden
branches, bright rivers.
*
When a bulb burns out
we just change it--
it's not the bulb we love;
it's the light.
