I am full and ready to burst with growth
Reach up and out with my whole being
Put my whole self out on this limb
Vulnerable, I know, to wind and storms and cold
Reach up and out with my whole being
Free and unafraid, confident of my beauty and purpose
Vulnerable, I know, to wind and storms and cold
I openly embrace all that is
Free and unafraid, confident of my beauty and purpose
I put my whole self out on this limb
I openly embrace all that is
I am joyful and eager to blossom
–– Peg Conway
Image and poem both emerged through activities of the Abbey of the Arts’ online Lenten retreat.
Love the poem and thanks for the Abbey of the Arts website…look forward to exploring. Mary
You will definitely love it, Mary! I’m also doing the “Sacred Seasons” program, which I highly recommend.
Beautiful, Peg! You are a poet. Thank you for sharing this gift with us.
Thank you, Laura! I’ve finally become comfortable calling myself a writer — “poet” will take a while.
The poem spoke to me having just celebrated a family wedding being one of the elders.
Mary Ann, I’m so glad!
