It’s Never Too Late To Begin Again
I meet lots of folks who exist day to day. I used the word “exist” and not the word “live” because that’s what they’re doing. Their lives evolve into a monotonous routine. Those who live experience the moment and what the moment brings whether it’s joyful, sorrowful, or an opportunity to express heart-filled gratitude. Fully experiencing the moment helps them to more fully grasp what it means to be human. They will dance at wedding, cry at funerals, and creatively explore how to build and heal relationships. It’s never too late to start living.
Hope ~ A Poem by Edith Sodergran
Hope
Edith Sodergran
want to let go –
so I don’t give a damn about fine writing,
I’m rolling my sleeves up.
The dough’s rising…
Oh what a shame
I can’t bake cathedrals…
that sublimity of style
I’ve always yearned for…
Child of our time –
haven’t you found the right shell for your soul?
Before I die I shall
bake a cathedral.
