These Are My JOTtings...

To Live the Days of Yore

Today, I would like to share a poem I just wrote.

Traditional poetry has been so helpful to me throughout life to express and to release the deleterious effects of the many griefs we experience in Life. The present grief over the loss of my Mom is definitely no exception.

The initial adrenaline surge of the days surrounding Mom's "crossing over" has given way to the many physical challenges of the past two weeks in which my spirit has informed my body, "Sir, something significant has just happened. You need to give us time to adjust."

Therefore, I am giving a greater amount of respect to my body, my soul and my spirit as I learn how to live in The New Normal.

I hope you will enjoy this poem of the remembrance of the past and the hope for the future as I live in the present as it really is.
