Ruminations, etc.

Since my last post, so much has happened. The election. The loss of the loved one. A new job prospect. Change really is the constant. The beauty of it is that change throws off our balance and thereby causes us to realign with what is at our core.

Here are a few things that have been inspiring me lately:

THIS CONVERSATION between Trevor Noah and Ta-Nehisi Coates

and THIS POEM being read by Lucille Clifton

and this song (video below) by John Gorka

(at St. Mary's)

may the tide

that is entering even now

the lip of our understanding

carry you out

beyond the face of fear

may you kiss

the wind then turn from it

certain that it will

love your back     may you

open your eyes to water

water waving forever

and may you in your innocence

sail through this to that
