One of the reasons I thrive when working with Dr. Julie Todd is due to her understanding of the various ways in which we can express and digest our learning. This week, she asked us to write a poem using a prompt. Below is the prompt, followed by my poem.
If I felt free to follow the deepest desires of my heart to serve in this world, I would…
..open a door
a doorway that is accessible, beyond
(white) canes,
but to those who do not see the capital G
the Nones
where spirituality is not a question that must
entangle itself in the-ism
but a love letter to ourselves, nature, mystery, universe
a sensual slow dance with no rush to seduction
just an unfolding of shared sacred spaces
banishing imposter syndrome
for the truth of our worth
replacing scarcity
with an extravagant, wasteful, God-sized amount of
Love
and
Compassion
using a merciful womb and nursing body
to birth a new way forward, together
restoring and transforming
the face of God.
