i said i would
so i did
so i am
my belly is tight and my grief is gripping. something like the thing that lived inside me for most of my life.
but only a whisper of it.
thankfully.
today,
i humbled myself. I let my fear slide away and decided to open and see what might happen.
and in the din of construction, the zoom of traffic,
with rusted leaves trailing down the soft breezes,
i leaned into myself and
then, others.
i fell weightless into openings and found my hands held
and my heart widened.
the water was cool and there i was.
in a circle.
part of something.
and there my sweet soul, heart of hearts shone in the sunshine and lifted his dancing arms to the sky
and
there we were,
all of us,
testing out a way to laugh,
to connect,
to dance together.
in peace.
and stillness
and motion
and peace.
and love.
vance monument.
