Finding Myself

2/10/2015

As I shared in yesterday's blog, I have been struggling lately with where I am both emotionally, spiritually and as a writer. Last night, our priest reminded us that we are only truly happy when we are following God's will and plan for us. I know this, but I have not pondered it for awhile. That changed today.

I have decided to prepare for Lent. I have begun a novena that will end as Ash Wednesday begins. I have acknowledged to myself that I need more time in Adoration and more quiet time this Lent. I have also decided to return to my first loves of writing...journaling and poetry.

So, as I struggle to find my new normal (can you tell I'm menopausal) I wrote my first poem in a long time. Ready or not...

Fertility ending;

Changes

Rendering...my heart open and exposed.

Acutely feeling;

Changes

Stealing...my peace leaving me raw.

Eucharist feeding;

Changes

Needing...His heart, sacred, it beckons.

Communion longing;

Changes

Belonging...to His perfect plan.

Faith deepens;

Changes

Leaping...discovering destinations He sends.

Inward carving;

Changes

Scarring...metamorphis of my heart.
