#66Challenge
Today I found this line from Joy Harjo in her poetry collection Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings:
What kept me going was that perfect song I kept hearing, just beyond the field of perceptible sound.
I related so well, I immediately wrote this:
Coming down off the most difficult
and rewarding school year ever,
I read Joy's words and I know
that this is true for me -- that I
kept hearing a "perfect song" off
in the distance, and I knew it
was for me...I knew I would
eventually capture the lyrics enough
to make them come alive inside,
then through joy and playfulness
and creativity and love, that song
would become a full reality on the
outside and spur me on in ways I have
attempted in the past, but never achieved.
And now I know the day has come.
And I am grateful for the struggle.
Like everything in life: grieve, release, begin anew.
