by Rabbi Shira Shazeer
Many months after the world changed
After worry, adjustment, connections lost and found
Relearning how to live
How to work
How to family
How to community
~
After holding on
Holding together
Holding, holding,
~
I took to the open road
Family in tow
To see the land and the wonder it holds
~
To reach out
and in
and rediscover
Who am I
Wherever I am
In this world
~
I am no Thoreau
Not Diana of the Dunes
Alone with the world
In quiet contemplation
Rugged self ...
