the grace of grit

Still a loving inspiration.

Today,
It is with great pleasure
that I announce
my acceptance
of my wings.
With my wings
comes the committment
to treat myself
with the same kindness
and compassion
that I treat others.
That I forgive myself
for making mistakes
rather called faux pas
(so much sexier in French)
and to acknowledge
and treat
my faults and foibles
with all due respect
and patience.
I understand that
with this committment
comes lifetime membership
into Tinker Belldom
including an unlimited
sprinkling of
tinklepink dust
and firefly glitter
to share and savor.
I pledge to always
and forever
nurture and kindle
the lightness of being
that is me
lest I forget
in which case
I get to reread
this announcement
as often as I want.
It is with sacred trust
an open mind
a joyous smile
and wondrous heart
I do finally and most willingly
accept my destiny
to never grow up
or old in spirit
or life.
So help me
fellow fools
fairies
and winged ones.

Echo Farm
pattering rain
the last of your saved letters
return to me
insects on their way to work lilacs
letting go
the dandelion
and me
bleeding heart
first spring
without you
despite your absence
forget-me-not
periwinkle
just being
blue
for Robin
