my favorite photo
from the shore
this summer.
i sat and watched
him watch the waves.
wondered what
stories were going through
his mind and heart
as the waves rolled in
and trikled out.
the love he had shared
the loss he has
learned to carry?
i wonder.
i remembered a song
this week
"humble thyself
in the sight of the lord".
humble thyself...
your
self.
sit down
get down
and see life
with perspective.
sit down
get down
and notice where you are
savor who you are
love what is.
sit down
get down
let go of all
those things
all those past words
and actions that taunt
and tear you down.
sit down
get down
and notice where you are
savor who you are
love what is.
i watched him
watch the water
till it came
up above his ankles
then he got
help
and got up
and moved on.
and sometimes
that's the perspective
that comes
when you sit down
get down and notice where you are
savor who you are
and love what is.
yesterday that's all i had
energy to do...
sit down
get down...
where i am and who i am
and what i love
and who i love
has been
the result of letting go...
of noticing where i am
who i am
and loving
what
is.
