I'll be honest, writing has felt difficult this week. Ideas for this post appeared, then disappeared. Words started, then clattered to a stop.
And so, as I often do when searching for something, I look to the words of others. I found just the message I needed, and I thought I would share it with you. Just in case, you might need it too.
May your week be full of love and your journey home be accompanied by all those who matter most.<3
whenever I feel helpless
in this overwhelming world
I become a helper
oh, oh,
my love
on the days
when it feels like
I have no power
I serve others
you see,
whenever I wash
the world’s feet
my hands
immediately
stop shaking
~ and I know peace
~ and I reclaim my power
~ and I get back to work
