Journeying with you

Voices rise in wondrous song

As our spirits soar

Dreams swirl poetic

Tapping into consciousness

Until welcomed in

Love is teaching us

To speak our deepest longings

To hold each one dear

*Sometimes you just need to step back and listen to someone else, someone who speaks beyond words*

Language is, in other words, not necessary, but voluntary. If it were necessary, it would have stayed simple; it would not agitate our hearts with ever-present loveliness and ever-cresting ambiguity; it would not dream on its long white bones, of turning into song.

Mary Oliver

Dreams impose themselves

Like memories standing near

Enough to embrace

Morning beckons still

Among whispering willows

As our hearts draw near

Love will renew us

Compassion embolden us

History name us

Sometimes I wonder

Wandering

Willingly flee

When words escape me

Tear down the statues

Love walks among us chanting

Reshaping our path

*As dedicated protestors of all races continue to gather on behalf of change, I can’t help sharing a few quotes from one of the amazing women I’ve been reading about lately*

Mercy Otis Warren

1728-1814

The rights of the individual should be the primary objective of all governments.

**

Democratic principles are the result of equality of condition.

**

A superfluity of wealth and a train of domestic slaves naturally banish a sense of general liberty and nourish the seeds of that kind of independence that usually terminates an aristocracy.

**

Every domestic enjoyment depends on the unimpaired possession of civil and religious liberty.

*Wishing you sweetness and Love always…along with the liberty and courage of conviction to embody them!*
