Relearning Loveliness
The bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing it’s loveliness,
to put a hand on the brow
of the flower,
and retell it in words and in touch,
it is lovely
until it flowers again within, of self-blessing
^{—poem by Galway Kinnell}

much love & many ((((hugs))))
