Dare I say, ‘a mindful’ poem:we save ourselves first and throw a life-belt to others, but don’t jump in and drown ourselves too!
Yeah, another piece I like with this message is "Start close in" by David Whyte...check it out!
Thanks for this, Brian. I have just copied this out slowly into my journal and then read it back. A strong experience.
"and there was a new voice"
Nice. That’s one thing I haven’t done with this, write these pieces out. I’ll have to give it a try!
"...the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own..."
These are my favorite lines in this poem. Thank you for posting this one today.
You're welcome! That is a striking stanza for sure!
