I have a lot on my mind tonight. There are some big changes around the bend for me, and as I stand on the margins of them, it seems right to be quiet for a little while.
To think, and let the empty space stretch out its limbs.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have some light to share today. I’ve been perusing through my favorite Mary Oliver poems again, and this one, somehow, struck me as right for the moment.
Enjoy, friends. And happy Monday…
Today — I promise — is an invitation…
Again. β€

π I’m glad it started your day, too!
Here’s hoping we all hold our hands open to today’s goodness … Even when it goes against our natural inclinations.
Happy Monday, girl. Enjoy this new week!!
