We can never be truly
prepared for anything
When its time we can only
harness
what experience has taught us and
pray for the spirit to know
what to do to
move forward
one day at a time--sometimes
one breath and
pray and
practice and
breathe and
when we are able to
open again after loss or change
live and find reasons to
rejoice again
in
the little things
the peace
the calm
the beauty
that like the thunderbird
rise softly like smoke from the ashes.
