Blessings to you Dearest Renee. I love this poem so much and will carry it with me on the tides of this uncertain year. I hope to join you on Sunday and will touch base as soon as I figure out if it will work. xo
Dearest Donna, I'm so glad to read this poem will be with you in the days ahead. We carry this poem together "on the tides of this uncertain year." Know that I would love for you to join me on Sunday.
I love the poem. There's something very John O'Donohue about it--the feel, the connecting of inner being to outer world. Thank you, Renee, and thank you for all your gifts of the past year. You have provided an anchor of beauty and grace in the chaos that surrounds us. May we all find a strength and peace --and joy! in 2025.
Dear Brenda, I thank you for seeing John O'Donohue's always attunement of the inner with the outer and the outer with the inner in this poem. Now I can almost hear his lilt in the whispering echo of Clifton. And thank you for your kind words. They touch me. May we all find a strength and peace -- and joy! in 2025, nourished, I sense, by heartfelt connection and sea-depths of care for one another and our belonging in this, our beautiful world.
Dearest Erma, "hold it close as it seeps into my soul": I echo you and wonder how the poem, read daily, might become the tenor of 2025. Thank you for sharing.
•and may you in your innocence, sail through this to that• offers untold hope, and so we are blessed by this your offering, for which thank you, may you receive your due blessings in full throughout the year ahead, it has been ushered in well.
Thank you for everything, Renee. This new year has more intentionality tin it han any I have experienced before. Everyone seems to be paying attention.
Thank you Renée for bringing in the New Year with a gentle flow within and without. Lucille Clifton, “blessing the boats,” was a perfect way to open the portal for 2025 it touched my soul.
Julie, I echo you: I, too, am so glad our paths have crossed here. Now that they have (with thanks to Kimberly Warner for connecting us), I look forward to connecting more. Happy New Year to you!
Dearest Renée, I join you in the quietness of this bright new day, the first of a new year of gifted days, in the hope that the tide lapping gently at our understanding brings with it peace and love and light and, with it, my blessings to you and all those you love.
