Overwhelmingly peaceful poem. Your words and presence are palpable. I have a sense of kinship and peacefulness in loving myself as I am today. I am not alone and afraid of being myself and the absolute joy that overrides my fears. That’s who I’m meant to be in this fleeting journey of life that invites me into a new life. Your heartfelt words have helped me through this difficult journey and I thank you. Everlasting love expressed through your words on paper.

Today is my husband's birthday. This poem a gift, a promise to me of the immense blessings of our home. It is where we come together to feel the joy of life, even when there is strife between us. We have built our live together for 45 years, in our home. We have a garden, where bees, and birds, and lizards thrive. This poem brings all this to my attention, giving me a moment to rest peacefully in the gifts that life has given me. Thank you for reminding me, through your poetry, to open this gift today and hopefully every day.

“Entering the silences

and chambers of the heart

to start again”. Beautiful.

Thank you.
