She Let Go

Reverend Safire Rose   Without a thought or a word, she let go. She let go of fear. She let go of the judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the ā€˜rightā€™ reasons. Wholly […]

Access Road

Alison Luterman   I donā€™t know if other people feel like thereā€™s a life running alongside their so-called real life like an access road runs alongside the main highway.

Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer   How does she do it? She hitches a ride on the blow, a stowaway on that which brings her down. ā€”Teddy Macker, ā€œThe Mosquito Among the Raindropsā€ There I was, making tea in my kitchen, when fear hit me like a school bus. I didnā€™t need a scientist or therapist to […]

The Bell and the BlackbirdĀ 

David Whyte   The sound of a bell Still reverberating, or a blackbird calling from a corner of the field, asking you to wake into this life, or inviting you deeper into the one that waits. Either way takes courage, either way wants you to be nothing but that self that is no self at […]
