"To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To bear with unbearable sorrow

To run where the brave dare not go ..."

Born to hum ... love that. Thank you Mary!! Happy revisioning.

Thanks Claire! I need good energy. I’m wishing I had chose poetry or fiction. Memoir feels painful right now.

Thanks Martha for sharing. This song is new to me. I listened on Spotify this morning and enjoyed it. Then, it played The Garden by Phoebe Bridgers which is one of my favs and is now in my head.

Thank you! I’m not enjoying it right now but I will find my way through. I have to believe that if I keep going it will lead to healing. I just have to find the best way through.

Love the poem

“Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind

Possessing and caressing me”
