When Things Aren't Okay

I wrote this poem in 2017, and took this photo on my walk this morning. Both spoke to me to share…

When Things Aren’t Okay

Things may not be okay

The world may seem a mess

Yet all of us can do something

To ease our fear and stress-

By cultivating presence

Feeling love within our heart

Then sending it out to the world

Through our music and our art

Through prayer or meditation

Or whatever feeds our soul

Reminding us in broken times

That we are always whole-

That kindness truly matters

And peace is not just talk

For grace and love surround us

To help us on our walk~
