Ah, those excuses from childhood manage to surface again when we are adults, don't they? Perhaps in a slightly different form. I like the concept of inheriting your own light and joining with the umbrella of the sun!
Your poem is far more positive than mine. I resonated very strongly with your line about inheriting my own light. What a fantastic concept and image you reveal. Beautifully written,
"I struggle to become/to inherit my own light..." First time here, thanks to your visit to my blog, and I have to say, I haven't seen the Wordle yet today, but this is obviously a lovely use of the words. This self-examination is probably as useful for you in meditation as it is for us reading it!

The hope at the end shines brightly. I love "the umbrella of the Sun..."
ReplyDeletethanks Brenda - for the words, and the visit!
DeleteThose darned excuses seem to ferret us out, don't they? And yet, there is the promise of inheriting our own light that keeps us going...
ReplyDeleteThis is a delightful Sunday morning read!

ReplyDeleteparenting my own child has given me much cause to reflect on my upbringing, and an opportunity to remember who I meant to be : )
