Now Begin Again: The Poem That Started this Adventure of an Unconventional Life

October 30, 2024 by jjscreativelifemidwife

This month of remembering how close I came to death alongside the reality that my time is no longer as expansive as it was when I wrote this poem 25 years ago.

Its message is timeless and I am choosing, now, to begin again. Again.

Now Begin, the Poem –

Take away the degrees, titles accomplishments –

What is discovered at your core?

What is that unique, special spark

You’ve buried deep, neglected, chosen to ignore?

Seeking to please whomever

Drowning out pure longings from your heart

Struggling, freezing, suffocating

Until finally, you choose to start –

Whispers from the spirit –

Souls song from deep within

After dancing, stranger among strangers

Claim it. Your life. Now begin.

Thank you for following along as the healing has continued. May you be blessed as you claim your life and begin…. once again.
