Healing looks like
making connections
between the past and
current behavior

Healing looks like
discovering
I'm a people pleaser 
and how pervasive that is

Healing looks like
finding I don't take compliments well
and learning to say thank you
and mean it
take it all in
breathe deep into the discomfort
and say, "yes," I can accept that

This morning
my desire is to sit
enjoy
drink in the world around me

A poem on the current state of the Earth...

The pain of seeing a failing earth
humankind in a constant march to destruction

It hurts my heart, so much anger, and division,
so much ripping apart, taking and never giving

I feel this sense of sitting at the edge
a sad song plays as the world goes up in ashes

I don’t believe the earth will go
We will go
We will perish, be the ones who become extinct

The earth will heal
It may take millennia but it will rise
beautiful and strong once again

unfolding
open myself to possibility, life
unfolding
allow air into my lungs
unfolding
let my arms hang down, stop protecting
unfolding
touch, awaken, spark of life
