The morning is dark
but it is not early the day is winter’s solstice
The shortest day of the year
I see her sleeping next to me
and I am yet again amazed
Amazed that in all my growth
and all my determination to be
more gentle in the world
more loving to the world
more aware of the world around me
She is here offering me proof
Proof that I have succeeded
Proof that I am more gentle
She: lying in my bed
Not a harsh word in her mouth
Not a malicious bone in her body
She, that is gentle and true to her gentle spirit…
And to think: beautiful, gentle creature that she is…
I deserve her love…….. WOW!
