I love the earthiness of all three of these poems — they ground me in different ways.
Some prompts to think about on the heels of these lyrics:
+What are you doing today that honors the reality that you are “small and hungry and alive”? (And living one of your limited-edition, wild and precious days?)
+If those threadbare daisies can succeed in “a pinch of dirt,” so, too, can you. Where are you feeling tenuous in your life right now? How can you replant your feet?
+Do you feel like the falcon, the storm, or the great song today?
Post-Scripts.
+In the above photo — Elizabeth’s roses in bloom as of yesterday! Thoughts on her roses, and missing her, here and here.
+There are many ways to read the Iliad.
+Sometimes we are the sparrow, and sometimes the swan.
+I went looking for the blue heron and found something else incredible instead.
Shopping Break.
+I must have this striped shirtdress. The lace trim!
+At the top of my summer wishlist!
+Expecting mamas: Quince just released its first maternity dress! A great price!
+And a great non-maternity dress they just released here.
+Ordered this award-winning exfoliator to test.
+Recent Amazon order: this detox shampoo a friend recommended, a fresh bottle of this rosemary-mint hair/scalp oil, a pocket brush to keep in my purse, and a couple of these NB hoodies to bundle with these squirt bottles (I personalize with these initial stickers) for boys’ birthdays coming up.
+Speaking of Joy Creative: I just ordered my kids some new gift enclosure cards and this grab bag set of gift tags for lots of different occasions. I noticed they have some really cute ideas for graduates and end of year gifts for teachers, like this mini tag set! My code MAGPIE10 gets you 10% off too.
+Speaking of gifts, I just ordered one of these to a sweet friend of my daughter’s.
+This Staud striped dress is phenomenal.
+Love this kitschy apron.
+Cute half zip for my raquets ladies.
+My son basically lives in Cadets shorts these days (he loves this style in particular), and they just released a proper fitness short!
+Cheerful summer sneaks for kids: these, these, these!
