In May Monet brews
deep hues’ agony and love
the vista reveals
A woman reeling
deeply resonating hope,
courage poised, still.
My daughter, Marion, is often called May, and in May we visited Carnegie Museum of Art. The month of May turned out to be a very challenging and difficult time for my daughter. Her courage, strength, and depth of awareness struck me as I turned to look back at her lingering over Monet’s magnificent and imparting work of beauty.
“The soul can become a reality again only when each of us has the courage to take it as the first reality in our own lives, to stand for it
and not just ‘believe’ in it.” James Hillman
Embody…
Embolden…

Some things just have to be watched… With one child in the Greensboro Philharmonic and another in band and another who plays guitar/sings, this blows me away. Not that you have to have kids to be blown away by it…

This isn’t your typical spiritual… but wow, hold out for some amazing visuals at the end…
Heat hold held here so
fully filling every jive alive,
reaching,
singing,
humming,
overflowing this precious,
pulsing power-yielding.
Every ounce receptive,
receptive,
receptive…
shine me down the up afire,
flow me through the heart – a lyre,
J. Ruth Kelly
