Teach Her to Bloom

2024-10-19T03:10:00.000-07:00

"If all girls were taught

that they are born wild and free.

That their mind, body and soul

is in their own keep.

That they have just one life

and they must make it their own.

That they need to walk their own path

and don't need to be shown.

That a cage isn't for them.

They should be free like a bird.

That they have a voice

and a right to be heard.

That other women aren't their enemy

we're all in this together.

That the walls that divide us

will not last forever.

That their one purpose in life

is to grow wilder and bloom.

That living a passionate life

is the only way to defeat the doom and gloom.

We would have an army of women,

powerful and strong.

An army of women

to defeat all wrong.

Let's teach our girls

that they were born wild and free.

Let's teach our girls

the power of she.

Women try to tame themselves

as they get older

but the women who feel and look the best

are the ones who grow wilder."

~ Samantha Wilson

Achyutam Keshavam Bhajan Lyrics in Hindi

Seeing all the Beauty in You

2021-01-30T02:37:00.002-08:00

If one of the things you believe in,
Is that this world's an ugly place,
You must have never gone outside at,
And stared up into space,
You haven't felt the way the air changes,
In the minutes before it rains,
Or watched the world pass by below,
Out the window of a plane,
You've never been awake so early,
That you see the moment the sun starts to rise,
And you've never lain with your back on the grass,
And made shapes with the clouds in the sky,
But maybe if you've done all this,
But still don't believe it's not true,
It's because you can't see all the beauty,
That I see when I look at you"

🌻 Erin Hanson

Of All That I Have Seen

2021-01-29T22:50:00.001-08:00

I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair

I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see

For still there are so many things
That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people that will see a world
That I shall never know

But all the while I sit and think
Of times there were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at the door.

🌻 J.R.R. Tolkien

Poetry - Thank You !!

2019-01-03T04:59:00.001-08:00

THANK YOU, YEAR

I wanted to blame you.
I wanted to make you responsible
for every death and
negative outcome,
and for all the complicated obstacles set in my way.

I wanted to shake my fist
at your delivering grief to my door and turn my back on the sorrow you dealt.

I wanted to desensitize
my heart in the middle of your tragedy and misfortune,
and numb myself from the on slaughtof fear engulfing me throughout your cataclysm.

Instead, I will stand in the place that’s called Gratitude
and I will say,
Thank You.

Thank you world,
for holding me in your grace each night.

Thank you life,
for keeping me in your protective care.

Thank you friends,
for walking with me in the dark,because I made it through to see the light of the next passage.

Thank you hardship,
for bringing out the real work
that needed to be done from with
into allow for growth and transition.

And the vital truth is,
whatever we so love
is divinely passing through.

Every living thing,
every precious soul,
every single moment—
every leaf on the wind—
will not ever be repeated.

So, on this last given day
when one final road renders
itself to one new,
I will say,
Thank you, Year...
for bringing me here..

- Susan Frybort

Wishing you a fresh year of blessed days~Happy New Year 2019

Poetry - The Waking - Theodore Roethke

The Waking - Theodore Roethke

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling.
What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground!
I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the Tree;
but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me, so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

This shaking keeps me steady.
I should know.
What falls away is always.
And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

Theodore Roethke,

Lyrics - Free Spirit by Deva Premal and Miten

2018-11-28T22:12:00.001-08:00

Spirit of the river,
I can hear you,
I feel as if i’m deep inside your song,
I see you laughing intoxicated,dancing,
Will you carry me with you when i’m gone?

Spirit of the forest I can hear you,
I travelled far to be among your kind and you teach me how to live among your people,
I'm’m so far from the world,
I left behind ashes to ashes,
Sermons in stone,
Oh how time passes,
We’re here and then we’re gone,
And all that remains,
When we’re free of our chains,
Is the love we shared.

Mother earth what can I give back to you as you carry me,
Carry me to my rest,
I bow to the turning of your seasons as I lay my head upon your breast.

When You Believe

2011-01-21T01:18:00.000-08:00

Miracles happen to those who believe in them. ~ Bernard Berenson

Thanks

2011-01-15T12:29:00.000-08:00

Listen

with the night falling we are saying thank you

we are stopping on the bridges to bow for the railings

we are running out of the glass rooms

with our mouths full of food to look at the sky

Perhaps Not To Be Is To Be Without Your Being

2011-01-05T12:14:00.000-08:00

Perhaps not to be is to be without your being,

without your going, that cuts noon light

like a blue flower, without your passing

Happy Sparkling New Year 2011

2010-12-26T10:19:00.000-08:00

To leave the old with a burst of song

To recall the right and forgive the wrong

To forget the things that bind you fast

To the vain regrets of the year that's past.

A New Year’s Prayer

2010-12-24T09:06:00.000-08:00

May God make your year a happy one!

Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,

But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes

Invictus

2010-12-11T07:58:00.000-08:00

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

The Definition of Love

2010-10-27T09:36:00.000-07:00

My Love is of a birth as rare

As 'tis for object strange and high:

It was begotten by Despair

Vicissitudes of life

2010-10-21T09:16:00.000-07:00

Loss and gain, disrepute and fame,
Praise and blame, pleasure and pain –
These things are transient in human life,

The Solitary Reaper

2010-10-04T22:35:00.000-07:00

Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!

In Salutation to the Eternal Peace

2010-09-28T23:10:00.000-07:00

Men say the world is full of fear and hate,
And all life's ripening harvest-fields await
The restless sickle of relentless fate.

If

2010-09-22T19:03:00.000-07:00

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:

Life is Fine

2010-09-17T00:01:00.000-07:00

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.

Perfect Woman

2010-09-10T17:30:00.000-07:00

She was a phantom of delight

When first she gleam'd upon my sight;

A lovely apparition, sent

To be a moment's ornament;

Still I Rise

2010-08-30T06:46:00.000-07:00

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
