I adore the middle finger this gives to the predominant view of strength.
Visualize me sitting here comfy in my pajamas
tenderly stretching my soft and flexible wrists and ankles;
as I admit with strong words how terrified I am at
our lack of concern for our home...our earth...each other.
I make countless mistakes. Just yesterday... leaving a watercolor painting
outside to dry...and neglecting to bring it in before the downpour.
I failed to turn the burner off making hard boiled eggs.
I flex my mistake-making muscle over and over again...
making it my life's mission to outdo my previous record...
(minus the burner one).
Except I'm not keeping count.
Might I add that the strong ones also include:
apologizing when appropriate;
asking for forgiveness;
giving the benefit of the doubt, especially to your perceived enemies;
forgiving yourself and others;
changing your mind when necessary;
saying no to expectations;
questioning your assumptions; and
being your truest self.
May your day be filled with softness, flexibility;
the courage to name your fears outloud;
and a myriad of enlightening mistakes along the way.
Namaste'
