How to Go On

I am, these days, a much-contented woman filled with wonder thanks to an inherent and fathomless curiosity. I’ve earned a deep appreciation for the simplest of things. (I can lift both arms to offer a hug, which has not always been the case.) I enjoy relationships with so many loving people, feel sometimes giddy at my good luck.

I was not always so content, and well-remember the black-dog days and eyes-wide-open nights when reasons for continuation were considered. Maybe the remembering amplifies the sparkle and shine of today’s goodness.

My friend

Victoria Nordgren

often shares stunning outdoor photos, and the one below beckoned to me. I began writing, and after many revisions and workshop feedback from friends over at Conscious Writers Collective, founded by

Maya C. Popa

, “How To Go On” has come this far.

I welcome your insight, reactions, comments and critique.

How To Go On

Catch sight

Of night dew dancing on

Morning’s green leaves

First rays painting diamonds

on water, through trees

Simply

Believe the light

Bright

Streaming

Beaming

Promising

Not threatening

A new day

A new way

To stay
