Such a beautiful, permissive poem. One of my favorite poetic lines (David Whyte) is “The world was made to be free in”. This piece has beautiful intonations that bring me to that line.
Happy New Year Elizabeth. I really appreciate your relationship to writing; your willingness to get out of the way and be "surprised" by what comes out.
You know, the thing I like about writing most is how "paper and ink" are so cheap. Write now, worry later...❤️
We do, Ann, we do. That's why (I remind myself) it matters to write down the loving invitations when we hear them, so we can go back to them on harder days and remember the truth of what we heard.
Thank you for all the loving attention you bring to the world and to your writing and your writing-friends. Love and peace to you in the year to come!
Wept hard. Breathed out. Felt like you were saying yes to every single person on the planet. Thank you, for giving me the space I needed today. The whole sky is yours, too.
New Year hugs to you, Jeni, and to Stanley Bear and Albee Bear and Odile and Betsy and all their friends! Thank you for everything that you and your crew show us about how much love there is in mending and being mended.
So lovely and encouraging. Thank you, Elizabeth.
💛🌿💫
This is so wonderful. I was just out looking at the stars and then I read this! Thank you!
All those stars are yours, Shondra, and all the sky around them! ✨
The sky is ours to write on
so let's warm up our
jet engines & fly,
baby, fly.
That's one way to do it! Thanks for reading, Mike.

"Take all the space you need, love. Fill all
the space you fill. The whole sky
is yours to write on. The whole sky is yours."
Happy New Year Elizabeth! Thank you for this loving invitation. We sorely need it.
We do, Ann, we do. That's why (I remind myself) it matters to write down the loving invitations when we hear them, so we can go back to them on harder days and remember the truth of what we heard.
