"Ownership relinquished, the small self is no longer afraid." It’s such a beautiful reminder that we don’t need to control every step of the journey..we just need to trust the flow. Thank you for sharing this, Julie!

Love this, Julie! Feeling those author vibes...

And especially loved the lines,

"Joy in the release, the sheer letting go of censored self.

Hope floating, gently riding on the currents.

Unfettered, the idea becomes larger than itself."

May your writing be unfettered today as you venture forth...

Thank you, Angie! I’m not likely going to have much time for writing today, but I hope to cut loose very soon!! I appreciate your kind words!

Julie, I love the pace. It's song-like.

How long does it take you to come up with poetry like this?

Julie Snider's avatar

Yasmin, I dug this one out of my digital vault and edited it. I don’t have an answer, really. I guess it let me know it was ready to come up for air, and I obeyed!

Oh, it’s good to know this, Julie.
