atonement

 

Dear Readers,

We are “more than what

we do, or have, or give.” That sentence is worth reading again.

We are “more than what

we do, or have, or give.”

This week I have combined words by K.A.Love, with art by Angela Ting.

Upon reading the poem, I immediately thought of Ting’s work. The two compliment each other and send the same message of you are enough. Because you are enough.

You. You as you are right now in this very moment are enough.

Take care of yourself, and remember to nourish your mind, body, and spirit.

Your blog moderator,

Kira


atonement

 

many years ago i came

to the wailing wall

along with my fellow

believers,

 

to push my wishes

into the cracks of

those ancient

hebraic bricks.

 

given the opportunity

to face again

 

the broken stones,

 

this time around

i would leave my

childish wishes

behind

 

and offer up instead

a simple prayer

for myself and

for sentient beings

everywhere.

 

a prayer of surrender

that we all may

stop resisting and just

allow the mystery

 

to enter our bodies

 

letting every fiber of our

beings vibrate

with the certainty

that we

 

are loved

 

for more than what

we do, or have, or give.

so we can finally

relax

 

into the revelation

that we

are right in this

 

very moment,

 

perfectly enough.
