the excuses
left over from childhood
find me where I stand
I vowed to go deeper
as the shifts in my perception
echoed like thunder
I struggle to become
to inherit my own light
and join with the umbrella

The Sunday Whirl #78
the excuses
left over from childhood
find me where I stand
I vowed to go deeper
as the shifts in my perception
echoed like thunder
I struggle to become
to inherit my own light
and join with the umbrella

I do so love to hear from you - please let me know that you came to visit!
it has come to my attention that some people are having trouble commenting, and from what I could find, it seems blogger uses third-party cookies, and if users have them disabled, they cannot comment while logged into a google account. further, browser extensions like ad blockers or heightened privacy settings like tracking protections can block the comment form. I checked my settings, and the blog allows all comments, including anonymous ones, so...just know that I appreciate your visit even if you can't tell me you were here.

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!
thank you, I certainly keep reaching for it!
DeleteAh, 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!
ReplyDeleteparenting my own child has given me much cause to reflect on my upbringing, and an opportunity to remember who I meant to be : )
DeleteYour 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,

thanks Elizabeth!
DeleteI like umbrella of the sun. Nice work.
ReplyDelete"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!
ReplyDeletePeace, and thanks again, Amy
