As you know we love to receive responses to the posts we publish and to the concepts we talk about. Here is a beautiful poem that Alicia wrote in response to our summer theme read Life Differently
Attention
To the details
Weeds that are poking up their heads
Other flowers that need to be guarded
Joy over plants that finally “took
Sorrow for those that didn’t
But maybe it was not their time
Or it was not their place to be
This continual play between
The good or the bad
If we sit in another spot
Our perspectives change
There are always two sides to the coin
And when you step in
With colours unmatched
With harmonies unheard of
The smell of fresh-mown grass
The love shared among friends
Then my heart just melts
Into the love you bestow us
And we become one
In wondrous mystery
