Deep breaths.
Take a walk in the forest, to observe
the eternal trees and ponder
longevity.
Look for the bright, inspiring young,
speaking truth to power, even when
it costs them everything. Recognize
their passionate raised voices
as hope.
Receive the blossoms of spring
as earth's promise that she
will try to live, in spite of
all we have done to harm her.
If all else fails, find a beach
full of ecstatic, whirling dogs,
and watch joy in action.
Robert Brewer's prompt today was to write a "How to" poem.
Yes, Sherry, just yes! We have to make a point of looking for the joy. I like all of the ways you shared!
