The Trip Within the Trip

The psychic said I was ANGRY
I said I wasn’t
I hate it when I’m wrong

I said “driving” because we loved
to be on the road together.
I picked the hotel because it was
like the one we loved to stay at.

It’s his granddaughter’s wedding
He would have loved to be there
But he’s not….

Who am I angry at?
God? Joseph?
The fact is I still miss him so much
I can’t stand it sometimes.

Anger is not rational
Accepting it, accepting me,
accepting what is

I’m living my faith……
This too will pass
Keeping my heart open
Holding it all, even though

Sometimes it just hurts.

Enough said.

    You are gutsy for telling it like it really is. Grief and loss suck. And you are doing a great job of staying above water and keeping your heart open. You are loved, Barb

    Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.

  10. Angry is good. Let it rip and soar into the passionate beautiful woman that you are.
    The question is, now that you are angry what are you going to do with that energy we call anger?
