I'm sorry it was a painful week, Rebecca -- but how beautiful that you found comfort in other writers' words. It's amazing how often the right words show up before our eyes.
Thinking of you, and hope you mend soon. We've had flooding here where I live, and I'm feeling a little "fallen down" myself. I love the idea of being gentle with ourselves...
Oh, that Joy Harjo poem! It's one I memorized.
Didn't know the Anne Spencer one, though. Words to do.
They’re both such good ones, deep in my soul.
You are writing my story too. Thanks for articulating it so lyrically.
Thanks for being here, my dear friend.

Andrew, I am constantly amazed at that--the right words just at the right time. I'm grateful to poetry, meaning, and truth in the world!

Ah, Carri. I know the flooding has been bad. Hang in there. Which is to say, full permission to be fallen-down, as needed.

I hope you're feeling better!
Thank you, Susan!
