Open to healing –
create a space for inspiration
delve into the subconscious
Enter with pure intentions
ignore limited capabilities –
no offerings are meager –
Embrace new starts
with faith in ability –
be spurred into action
Self holds the answers
creative expression is key –
no expertise required.

This is such a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing. I really like this part ‘Embrace new starts
with faith in ability โ be spurred into action’.
Speaks to me while I continue learning to heal through a life with chronic illness. My physical ability has and will continue to change, but I need to have faith in what I can do and not fear new tasks or things I try to do…

Thank you. I come from the same place as you – living with chronic illness has taught me so much about life, and faith, and resilience. Thanks for commenting. I tried to visit it your site but Word Press said it has been deleted.
