You're really spiritual, aren't you?

“You’re really spiritual, aren’t you?”

He asked, surprised.

“That's a redundant question,” I thought to myself, “Aren’t we all?”

I replied that I was, but what I really wanted to say was…

Spiritual, agnostic, religious, human…

Brother, I’m here to surrender.

Let go of thoughts, opinions, positionalities, suppressions and regressions, hurt, attachments, even happiness. Let go of the loud voice that says you aren’t worthy. The sad one that says maybe it’s not meant to be. The angry voice that says it’s my way or the highway and the eager voice that says hurry up already.

What I really wanted to say was…

I want to see the world through your eyes

And how your view is being affected by your mind,

So that I can feel your heart

And love it with mine.

Until we’re both at peace,

No questions,

Quiet inside.

Bliss will bloom from our very breath

And joy course through our veins.

We’ll sit and laugh and sing and dance

Without resistance or refrain.

Strange and lovely, is'nt it — the roads that lead us together. Hello, you. I'm Jenn.

I'm a mother, a poet, and someone who cannot — try as she might — leave the true things alone without first turning them over in the light.

I write because the feelings need somewhere to go — and because I've found that when I name something true, someone somewhere exhales and feels a little less alone.

Most days you'll find me in the beautiful, unfolding ordinary of motherhood, letting go, and discovering out who I am underneath all the roles.

May you recognize yourself somewhere in these words.
