Those overalls I covet

There is a new light behind, around, within me.
A bright and glowing light
Soft as a rose petal
strong as a willow trunk

The light surrounds and penetrates
like the 'force', I suppose

Sometimes it seems to dim or flicker
but that is just me, closing my eyes
The light shines on,

I am amazed by how connections with people inform our lives. How we can meet someone, and through that meeting know ourselves better, deeper, more fully.

I am amazed by how transitions can be simultaneously difficult and full of grace.

I am amazed by how creativity comes, spreads, and flies forth from within, leaving behind everything it takes with.

I am grateful for the inspiration found in kinship, in opening to friend ship, in allowing self to shift and grow.
I am grateful for you.
I am grateful for me.
I am grateful for struggle.
I am grateful for grief.
I am grateful for growth.
I am grateful for fear.
I am grateful for resilience.
I am grateful for solitude.
I am grateful for togetherness.
I am grateful for music.
I am grateful for sound.
I am grateful for the light.

There is a new light behind, around, within me
A bright and glowing light
Soft as a rose petal
strong as a willow trunk
