anger baby steps begin buddhist carnival chain cough debate flux friday full growth haiku heavy hurt love meditation meme my love personal growth poetry rain rainy recover relief sick single step start sweetie

“full is not heavy”
presentation done
head opening, body melts
i heave relief. deep.
mind hits heart hits core
comfort,done tires, too, but
full is not heavy
Buddhist class teaches
anger is your creation
yours to stop then, too
You can’t purify
old hurts that pull from merit
’til you stop the now.
baby steps can be
quite rocky, and yet they are
the most important

almost better full heart hope love open thankful waiting
Today, I am full. I am plenty-full.

It is not the turkey or the squash. It is not even that the waiting is over. It’s not.
And my belly still hurts and my heart is still racing and will be until things are settled, or more settled anyway.
And yet….
I am full. Full of love. Full of family. Full of old friends and new loves and putting old fears to rest and embracing new securities and love and hope. I am full, and full of thanks and it is good.
