#6: higher power
my higher power is:
infinitely loving
a guide in the darkness
that often surrounds me
the little nudge
to set judgement aside
a reminder that anxiety will
not help others
or myself
soothes my stubbornness
anger and rage
catches my ego like a ball in a mitt
and throws it across the field
there i go around the bases
i hit home plate
this feels like my truth
—
every day it begins again
the battle with my brain
the constant turning
but my higher power is holding on
with a new force
inviting me toward the lushest bed of moss
where i can lay
away from the pain
turning my face toward the light
“there’s no going back, if you choose to stay”

i’m grateful for:
truly appreciating our christmas tree. gently taking it down from our living room with love & care
breathing vs. spiraling
texts with old friends
i love this bird: Starlings. maybe overrated to some. i see them everywhere in my neighborhood right now. their winter swarms are comforting. they are communicative birds of unity
