sky
I see the sky,
the blue, the cloud; and
at night, the stars,
the moon, the planets.
You see the sky,
don’t you?
the same sky…yes?
Could it be, that
although the miles,
our experiences,
separate us…
we are still connected?
We are the same.
you are here and I am there,
or I am here and you are there.
The same sky…wherever we are.

I am grateful for Carrie’s permission
to share her poem from the writing
circle here. I continue to meet
amazing women across different time
zones. Writing together provides a
mirror for us to process life in a
safe place where we have all agreed
to listen with compassion.

Lovely poem by Carrie and thanks for sharing this one, Ali. The sky is one piece all over the world. Yet it can look so different wherever we are…and at the same time yes, we are looking at the same thing – can’t see each other but really, we are all one on this planet. Beautifully written.
Mabel,
I agree that Carrie did a beautiful job of expressing our connection under a singular sky. Great to hear from you my friend. Wishing you wellness today and tomorrow.
Ali, thank you for posting my poem. I am reminded as I re-read it here, of just how sometimes, the simplest words can convey so much…and remind us all of the connection we share – even when we forget, or haven’t gotten to the place of this knowing in our lives. Thank you for the opportunity to write with you and the others in the group. I continue to be amazed and surprised at just what appears on the page.
I am privileged to be able to write with so many amazing people like you and I am grateful to have the opportunity to share your poem here. I hope to create even more connections between people far and wide. We may not be so different than we think we are.
