"How Dark the Beginning" where can I read this? Can you re-share? Also, I have written a great deal since last Wednesday morn'. Mostly journaling, but also writing a poem, that distills the raging thoughts that traverse through me. May I share?
Thank you 💐. History is cyclical but progress is FORWARD. This too shall pass and all is not lost. Quiet reflection to grieve and plan, then we rise to meet the huge challenges ahead. Black women are the inspiration, I truly believe that
Every interaction with nature is an energetic exchange. When we approach with humility rather than dominance, gratitude rather than entitlement, compassion rather than exploitation, and harmony rather than discord, we enter a conscious partnership with the natural world.
This speaks to me. I think, at this moment, I need a bit of stillness, and yet I need to stand up every day, to try to be present.
Yes. Thanks for this, Valerie.
Keep moving, yes. Though it feels like moving through quicksand some days, I choose to continue. I will join you in the movement.
Move. Rest. Take care. Yes to all of it. 💗

Julianne, I just edited the post to add the link to my last post, which was a video message of me reading the poem. It's here: https://maggiesmith.substack.com/p/a-poem-for-this-day
Thank you, Maggie, for re-posting, and thank you for making me feel welcome, and part of this community...

I needed this. Thank you.
Grief IS like an anvil. So simply and beautifully put, as always Maggie.

Thank you Maggie. Hard to trust many people these days but poetry, especially yours, speaks truth to me and helps me keep moving.
That’s so lovely of you to say, Janice. Thank you. Take good care.
No matter which side of the aisle you are on, use you’re voice for good… stay positive…kindness and compassion will win… bring those around you joy…🩵💙

Thank you for your lovely encouragement and openness, Maggie. I found the rhythm of my breath return while reading your words.
Love this, as I’ve loved all your words. But this. This now. Yes. On so many levels, and for so many parts of me.
