Family

This week I traveled across the country to be with family and friends.  I felt myself begin to feel and heal as I reconnected with those with whom I hold strong bonds of love.  To be our best selves, it is essential to honor and nurture our relationships and who we are not just as parents, but also as daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, husbands.

Family and Friends

With no regard to time

love waited for a break in my silence 

and for me to wake 

Never lead astray, 

you directed me to

an open window 

from my heart to yours

In gratitude

I choose an unbreakable bond, 

With those who help my being

to discover

the balance of holding, 

letting go 

and love.

If you cannot be with those you love physically, know that there is more than enough love for all to find and take and share.
