A simple word, yet
It had escaped me
I’m not alone, not a widow
I’m single!
Freeing in a way I don’t understand
Not wounded, not left behind
But standing as one, as ONE
Connecting deeply to myself
Connecting to a bigger whole
I’m free to start again with
New interests, friends…
As I am now…single.
In conversation with my friend Lee Ann, she said something. She didn’t see me alone, I was single. And something happened. I could feel an internal shift. I felt grounded.
I was myself again, rooted into the earth, free to blossom.
It’s crazy I know! But I’m going with the feeling, trusting this shift is real. Another stage in life, a continuation of this incredible journey. Joseph is still with me, laughing I suspect and cheering me on. Love never stops even as life changes. And maybe nothing changes but me.
Wow – What a remarkable shift! (And it IS a big one).
Wow and wow !
Ya, I’m with Kathleen … BIG shift! Love your observation that “Love never stops even as life changes.”
What a beautiful reflection, Barb. I am happy for you!
Wonderful perspective!!
Liberating!!!
Good for you!
