Dear Readers!
It is another beautiful day in Toronto as I sit on a patio writing to you. This week we are featuring a poem called “henini” which in Hebrew means “I am here”. What a wonderful title for a poem about the loss and grief associated with Eating Disorders and the powerful fight in our hearts.
I wish you all wellness and kindness.
Take good care of yourself, and remember to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
Your blog moderator,

henini By Katharine Angelina Love
i’m mourning the
loss of my tribe.
i’m mourning the
loss of my dreams.
i’m mourning
the loss
of my innocence.
i’m mourning
the loss
of my last hiding place.
i’m mourning the loss of
relationship,
no more offers
to get it right.
i have lost the battle,
that has raged on
for so long,
i can’t even
remember
who started
the war.
i lie down
in the hot
sand and
surrender.
“i am alive,
i am alive!”
said my still
throbbing heart
to the sand, to the
sky, and to me.
here i am.
henini.
