Thanks Ellie,
I am enjoying the different perspectives on the new year and the poetry they are written.in.
I'm reading Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, a Boston doctor. He has given me several good ideas, insights, and concerns in being ready to die.
I'll write a reflection some day and I recommend reading it.
Love,
Muriel
Give me a call, I often get lonely for a friendly visit.

Contemplative Monk--Hafiz
I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.
My mind is too busy.
My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.
I was created to smile
To Love
To be lifted up
And to lift others up.
O’ Sacred One
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares.
Free my soul.
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.
