The gratitude is shared habibi, thank you for spreading the wonder of poetry. I love that quote by Brother David, a gorgeous prayer. May we both grow with that kind of stillness, exactly.
Oh my “…may this be the year…”. Your thoughts on creating your poems are as full of awe as the poem itself! I share those poets as inspiration & i experienced 4 1/2 years of unimagined unity with humanity so i believe it will return again! With gratitude, Mary Ellen
Moudi - Your sensibilities resonate with mine, though we've walked different earth walks. I'm part of a collective of women who are encouraging and supporting the practice of relational repair to transform the core wounds of chattel slavery and settler colonialism into healing, authentic connection, and life-affirming relationships. We are building a website and would love to feature this poem and you reading it - if you're willing. I'd be happy to connect one:one to share more.

Oh, I am tingling all over! I will check in with my colleague June Wilson and circle back. In the meantime, what is the best way to set up some time to connect with you via Zoom?
Abundance of gratitude, Moudi. So touched and stirred to consider more ways to illuminate the path through these times with art that's imbued with Spirit and a code for living that honors all that's sacred (i.e., every precious moment!). Blessings on your day~ Caitlin
What a revelatory wander to that pond - and so generative. Thank you for pouring your loving, flowing intelligence and sensitivity into this exquisite poem, Moudi. May you be bathed in all the protection, care, fellowship, and love you deserve.
Habibi, and what a spectacular last poem of the year this is. With so much gratitude for you and the life you give to the world of words you share:
"May you grow still enough to hear the stir of a single snowflake in the air, so that your inner silence may turn into hushed expectation."
Brother David Steindl-Rast

Yes, may we all go with the flow that brings us all together in 2026!!! Happy New Year!
May it be so. Happy New Year to you!
My tears of thanks flow to you!
And mine to you. Even our tears carry the memory of water 💙

Thank you Mary, I believe this too, humanity will reunite again. I can't entertain another conclusion to our time on Earth.
Wowow!
