Today I will have a peaceful day.
Choosing creativity over reading, watching, listening to the news.
We are, absolutely, allowed to experience joy while the world around us spins out of control.
Feeding our souls and replenishing our spirits are gentle, positive acts of resistance.
Necessary.
Today I choose to create.
I love trying my hand at something new.
The newest is finally getting around to making beaded bracelets. Late to the game, but better late than never. And - It's fun!
(Please my excuse my raggy hair. Yes, it is in need of a good cut. Yes, it could use a brushing. We're pretty laid back here, so if my hair doesn't get brushed we pretend not to notice . . . Besides. I've got important stuff to do! Bracelets to bead! and, you know, stuff . . . )
Orange Energy
by Stephanie
All I want to do is delight—
Throw the mask off,
Not care and not worry,
Not explain what I mean nor
Define what I do.
Just be whatever I feel like being.
Just relish in the energy of this moment.
I want to be so alive that
I feel like the moon,
Throwing tides just for fun,
Creating because it’s what I’m
Here to do.
I want to love the color orange,
Just because it craves delight too.
I want to cry because
I’m so in love with the miracle of
Being alive.
I don’t want to feel like I’m
Striving.
I want to try and feel like I’m
Flying.
I want to write the poetry,
Read the poetry, and
Breathe the poetry.
I want my life to be a
Beautiful,
Messy mosaic that even I
Can’t help but fall in love with.
Create! Create!
I feel the winds of fury
Blowing through me.
Even my bones are smiling.
I hear my veins pulsing with
Desire, like branches
Dancing in the breezes.
Wildflowers are waving and
The ocean blossoms with a new idea.
Crazy and beautiful is
How I want my life to feel.
Let it be. Let it be.
I write to be free.
I read to tap in.
I absorb the poetry.
And so it shall be.
And now I am this energy.
