Reclaiming my space, bit by bit, day by day, photo by photo, word by word. Every morning I read the poem we read at our wedding, it is nourishing and healing and it re-charges me, expands my space, prepares it for the day:
“What I want to say is

that the past is the past,

and the present is what your life is,

and you are capable of choosing what will be,

darling citizen.

So come to the pond,

or the river of your imagination,

or the harbor of your belonging,

and put your lips to the world,

And live

your life.”

 

– Mary Oliver, “Mornings At Blackwater”
