A short reflection today - sharing some poetry and words of wisdom from others.
A new My Darling Girl poem arrived this week too. In response to my own question that in the face of such anguish and pain around us, is it ok for us to feel ok? Not in a way that dismisses or ignores the truth of what is happening - but in a way that enables us to connect even more deeply with ourselves, and with others.
As always I hope this resonates with you in some way.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers - by EMILY DICKINSON
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
My darling girl, You ask me - by Henny Flynn
My darling girl
You ask me
Is it ok to love what you do
Is it ok to love how you feel
Is it ok to love where you live
Is it ok to love who you love
Is it ok to be who you are
Is it ok to feel to think to be to do to say to see to cry to laugh to love to breathe
Is it ok?
And I say yes, my love
It
Is
All
Ok.
With love.
