something beautiful

oh you know…
what do you offer the day after
a holiday of gratitude?
a day after a holiday that could have
been wonderful
or
totally awful.
i know it’s been a hard year.
i know there’s lotsa hard stuff.
and of all things –
is THIS what i want to offer?
a love song?
what if you don’t have the one you love?
what if you’re all alone?
how does this help?
i think, i want to offer it because it’s beautiful.
it’s just simply beautiful.
i love that these men came together,
worked together,
and created this together.
even if we don’t have this right now –
or if we never had it –
if we close our eyes and listen,
we have it in this moment.
there is something about it
that just makes it alive inside us.
and that, i thought, was something to offer today.
i don’t know how to embed it,
so, just click here,
pop it on,
close your eyes
and let it live inside of you.

Hello Terri!
I’m a new subscriber to your blog. I just wanted to tell you that I am so grateful for your words. So grateful! I am a highly sensitive person who has felt quite lost and quite beat up during my life, partially due to not making connections with others like me. You are a breath of fresh air! You are so real! When I read your words, I feel them. I find it amazing that you dare to be so open, to bare your soul. In your words, you open your heart. You are courageous! Your words help me to remember that there are others like me out there. And that there is encouragement for people like us. Thank you so very much!
laura! thank you for SUCH a supportive note. i really really really appreciate it! and! WELCOME! so glad you’re out there! <3
