Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

In Memorium

on October 25, 2015

My heart a river
Slow and deep remembers source
From whence I came.

Drawing near to sea
River’s end in sight heart asks
Who remembers me?

    Good point. I was thinking about my grandchildren and my place in the family as a loved person living outside their orbit. Then I realized I am free to do what makes me happy instead of attempting to become a mythical grandmother figure. I’m moving on. 🙂
