Oh how high beyond
anything posing sky
you
birth the best in life.
Oh how deep beyond
beseeching seep
you
reach the rest of source.
Grow woman-child, grow up
you
me
we and be
all that glories in shameless living
spilling, flowing all
midwife of soul
child-like resilience
in the face of life’s hardest stories,
branches wrapping ’round us all
birthing newness and wisdom
in those bestowed with parenting
wonder,
wonder wise
wily, winsome
glory-you, tree-song
singing us all to renewal.
jrk – in awe of my temporary role of facilitator and witness of the emergence of one magnificent soul.

Your words captured so much and the photos are precious. … this touched something inside of me and I grieve the loss of witness, facilitator, of roots, and even the tree. But marvelously written and thanks for sharing your words.

I love that we have been bestowed the ability to mother each other. To pull strength from earth as we fill our lungs each day.

You have a knack for evoking a lump in my throat when you so openly and passionately respond. Thank you, love. I really felt inadequate with this poem but you’ve richly wiped that out. Big big hugs…

This is wonderful. Wood nymph, sprite, mother earth, nature herself. Birth and renewal, song and dance. Good writing, Cuz.
