Dear Cousin

Dear Cousin
dear cousin of mine
our journeys now shared
we didn’t realize
until compared
how similar we are
the challenges of motherhood
the never giving up
the determination to find the answers
the love – so much love
the surviving
the delight of rebellion
against the status quo
the creation of beauty
and watching it grow
the sense of adventure
the wanting to belong
the strength of composure
that quiet inner song
let us grow this connection
of family intertwined
and give thanks to generational
love that’s combined

A Father’s Message

A Father’s Message
dear child of mine
beloved one
you are a part of me
created thru passion and love
and you will always be
that part of me
i am here
to love and support
to cherish and celebrate
your own journey
it is a journey shared
and can not be compared
to the times before
our resonance
our love
is the deepest form
of vibrational communication
felt by all senses
let us begin
that journey from within
and share
all that we are
Te Amo

The Mastery of Inclusion

The Mastery of Inclusion
it can be hard to include
those whose perspective is not
compatible with ours
from their place on the clock
but remember we too
have stood where they stand
and have also seen the same view
as their lay of the land
the gift of exchange
of both feelings and knowledge
helps us to understand
we’ve attended the same college
the college of life
experiential degrees
maybe different years
even lifetimes away
but that same curriculum
always seems to come into play
with the same lessons
to be learnt along the way
tuition is paid forward
attendance required
to earn an MI
to remain inspired
by a
Masters of Inclusion
a degree in Humanities
