Two of my favourite people creating more joy in the world together - the medicine of laughter and praise! Alhamdulillah!

Thank you for sharing a bit of your whimsical time with Rosemerry with us. What fun you must have had! You two together must be the biggest bubble of joy... on the floor and in the world!

It did feel like a bubble of joy. Perhaps this is the middle path of the poet, to speak to grief and be a bubble of joy <3

Oh dear friend, thank you for sharing in this communal love. That a poem can find a place in your heart is one of the most affirming things I hear on this path. With gratitude to you, fellow floor sitter <3

I never heard of such a thing to do!

Where did Rosemerry learn to do that????

Sounds like fun.

Getting up wouldn't be easy!

Moudi Sbeity's avatar

Not always easy, even for me. Roll to my side, then push myself up 😅

Love this moment!! I believe she may be a whirling dervish at heart, no?

Moudi Sbeity's avatar

I believe this is true, and no doubt for you. Our hearts are dervishes in themselves, whirling and turning and praising.

I love that you BOTH were inspired/moved/delighted to write poems about your time together, Moudi! And congratulations on reaching a capstone moment. I'd love to join you!

Moudi Sbeity's avatar

Thank you Caitlin. It is so sweet to be in conversation like this through poetry. I would be so honored if you attended my capstone. I'll send you the link!

What a wonderful explosion of joy and tenderness! I have loved Rosemerry for a long time now and am privileged to be a part of her Soul Writers program. Such incredible richness and healing I have experienced! Thank you for sharing this Moudi. I am grateful for your heartfelt poetry and humility. Two of my faves together, yay!

Moudi Sbeity's avatar

An explosion of joy and tenderness! The only kind of explosion I will accept. All who are lucky to join her circles are privileged indeed, such hearts are needed in our lives. Thank you for reading along Julie, I am grateful for your voice and presence here <3

A haiku from my late sister, Noorunnissa, that I have always felt described her perfectly:

Great mischief am I

Joy jumping on happy feet

Dear friend--laugh with me

Moudi Sbeity's avatar

Subhana, have I shared that my brother is also named Nour? We both have light siblings. I love this poem, and your sister's wise invitation "dear friend--laugh with me"

Maggie Stevens's avatar

I had only recently read her poem about being with you. And now you’re poem about being with Her. It brought a bubble of joy in another wise grieving time.

Moudi Sbeity's avatar

Thank you Maggie, poetry inspires poetry inspires poetry. And the world is made the better for it.
