You are so immediately every minute conscious of what is unhealed & needy in the world. This intuitive poet is a gift to the world, as are you. <br />Jan <br /><br />jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-50164778134311758522023-01-31T16:44:44.961-08:002023-01-31T16:44:44.961-08:00I think we ought to praise it broken and all while...I think we ought to praise it broken and all while we are all still here, thanks Ruth!Michelle Koganhttp://www.michellekogan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-41900214229657553442023-01-29T17:17:12.687-08:002023-01-29T17:17:12.687-08:00Thanks for sharing this poem.

I'm thinking if we don't praise all of it, if we get in too much of a habit of only praising the beautiful parts, we are missing out. It's hard. I'll be thinking more about why the ugliness seems to have to exist, and how we can acknowledge it and still praise it--the world. Also, I'm off to listen to this song...hasn't been announced yet, but I recently sold a picture book dealing with brokenness...Thanks, Ruth!laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-79657980221039226682023-01-27T14:15:12.611-08:002023-01-27T14:15:12.611-08:00How beautiful this poem is...with such odd images ...How beautiful this poem is...with such odd images that my imagination loves trying to see.Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-69769690101210303932023-01-27T12:55:40.286-08:002023-01-27T12:55:40.286-08:00What a good poem for today.
