Happy Birthday Claudette! Thich Nhat Hanh , the Buddhist Monk, wrote so beautifully of “interbeing” which you express so beautifully here. Also reminds me of Aldo Leopold’s stunning description of an atom’s journey in his classic book, “Sand County Almanac”. Thank you for sharing your perspective....
It was so nice to join in on the Friday Write-Along today, Julie - thank you so very much for the opportunity. It's the first time I'd joined for the new hour-long format - and golly gosh, I'm delighted to say that I feel I really made the most of it. THANK YOU for all that you're doing for your fellow writers - I really appreciate you. 😘
Oh how fun! WOW 80th!! That will be a blast. Have a great time celebrating. I was thrilled to see your smiling face today. Thank you Rebecca for joining us and I'm so happy to hear it was a productive hour. :) Take good care, Julie
Reading: “Our House is on Fire” by Greta Thunberg & family, Running to get back in 10k shape and Relaxing with family & friends. Enjoy your precious family, make some new friends in Syracuse and drive safely.
Did you ever read Kennedy’s book “Profiles in Courage”. There is a very good reason it is a very “short” book. I see you as one of the few who lives with courage day in and day out. Keep pushing as it does inspire others and so helps them know that they are not alone. Have a fun 5k👣♥️👣
Thank you for the recommendation, Clark, (keep those book ideas coming) This sounds like one I must read. Thanks again and have a great weekend. Do you have any plans?
Oh wonderful Claudette! It sounds like you were surrounded by love and laughter. Thank you for sharing your beautiful poem with us. You have such a gift.
Love, love “I am rain”
You have a poet’s vision
Of “interbeing”.

A beautiful poem - and happy birthday, Claudette!

Hi Felicia! Thank you for chiming in and yes I agree, Claudette's poem is beautiful. She has a gift with words...a true poet.
Jules, enjoy your Syracuse weekend. Love the sign. And love that you are promoting your work. Showing up is the key to life. Very proud of you.
Thank you, Clark! I'm pushing courage. :) I hope sharing my story, my words will ignite curiosity and opportunity for others on their healing journey.
