The promise of light in February is to begin
spring sooner than later
for new beginnings
for noticing early signs of brightness
for moving
for inspiration
for seeking
to care
yet to care is also patience
for profound capacity
to become apparent
a profound capacity to care, aware
that I choose to accept
that I choose to receive
that I choose
to wait
care means conflict and impatience too
assuming all will be well because it will
with joy and pain and time
I patiently offer my care
knowing
patience is not a blind eye
if it is a choice to declare what I need
when I ask I can receive
when I ask I can receive
when open to surprise the patience to care comes
it touches, it beacons, it enjoys, it lights
the whole
sky

This poem was caught last week during a gathering of my local community of practice.
Beautiful catching and rendering, Beth. Such a gift you have and we receive.
You are most welcome. I love that there is a place for me to receive it and share it once a month on a Wednesday evening. Thanks for all you do to make those evenings wonderfully rich.
Love your facility with heart connection and words. This is vintage Beth.
Thanks, Barbara. It’s great to hear that this piece means something to someone not in the room when it was caught. That’s a good test!
