My birthday too, is on the Autumn Equinox, Sept. 22nd.....and this year it's a biggie for me.....65 wholesome years! This is always a sacred time for me, but this year, more than usual, and your theme of Transitions is a perfect one as I/we move into the last stretch towards it! I loved your last poetry series, and look so forward to this one! Maybe I'll try to write my own as well, rather than just appreciate everyone else's. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
What a delightful message I resonated with your love letter . At 73, I know my past self did the best she could with the resources she had. I am more resourceful now and will have even more capacity and choice next year. Thank You
What a lovely post, Kaitlin! I often read my past writing and the only feelings I have can be described as cringe or embarrassment. But you are right, we are writing from where we are in this current moment. I hope I've learned a thing or two since 2016 or 2017, but your encouragement to be gentle with our past selves is probably what I need. Heck, I need it for the woman I am today too. I'm not a poet, but I'm excited about your upcoming poetry week! :)
Forever grateful for your wisdom and willingness to share ❤️ I feel like I am on the precipice of some big changes so this was very consoling as I discern these transitions. Looking forward to the poetry week next week!
