![]() I am switching up our monthly blog post by going back to my roots as a free flow poet. I see the world through poetry and someone suggested I share my views with you. May you find that which can allow you to soar this fall! @MindfulnessMoms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Falling ---------------------- Floating down the red leaf falls. It knows not where it will land. I see it fall on the water calm. The falling leaf it floats. I ask the leaf, “Now why do you float so gently well? When I get into water deep, I sink, I fall, I drown.” The leaf shows me, its arms outstretched, thin, it bears its weight. It does not fight. It does not swim. It simply floats away. If only I could be like the leaf, and let the wind take me, I could fall and fly and float arms outstretched I’d see - land and sky and waters deep. Alone I’d reach the sea. And there I’d fall, a gently swift, upon the water deep. New horizons in my view, I’d fall into the feeling of the waves as they fell too. If only I could trust, let go of the fears that glue me here, I’d fly! I’d soar. I’d fall so sweet. I’d be free, I’d float at last! But here I am, alone I cling, arms crossed desperately as the winds they tear me apart. I take a breath, my time has come. I breathe once more and let go. I fall. I fall. I fall. I fall. The wind carries me gently home. - JP (Jeannine Proulx) ______________________________ **** We have some GREAT articles this month on our MindfulnessMothers.com website. Go check it out!!
