poetry of stillness

Today, I am grateful for therapy and my willingness to go every week. I am thankful to be in a place where I can be honest with another person about how I am feeling, and that I am willing to release what no longer serves me. 

I am learning the difference between needing validation and needing not to be criticized. 

I accomplished mourning the overturning of Roe v Wade. 

I delighted in seeing a spotted baby deer walking with its mom, in a multitude of hawks visiting me throughout the day, and in watching a beautiful butterfly fly gracefully through the trees.
