• Daily Bliss – July 17

  

  Her heart, a thin wall  

  Holding back a raging river 

  Threatening at every moment to unleash her power  

  And when it falls 

  She will be washed in the tenderness  

  Of her own healing tears

  Give yourself grace 

  She hears 

  And her silent tears fall

  The light she needs most 

  Is in inside her 

  After all

  Some days, we just need to be reminded that we are what we need.

  We are enough.

  We are whole.

  We may struggle or doubt but we’re not broken, just human.

  And the light inside us is not only what we need, but it’s needed by others too.

  We are a light to someone else, whether we know it or not.

  And for all these reasons, we can stop being so hard on ourselves.

  We’re perfect, just as we are.

  Where are you giving yourself grace today?

  Is there an answer

  For why the stars

  Hang in the sky

  Or why grass only grows

  So high

  Or why the hardest things 

  Always seem to bring

  Tears of joy she can never cry

  When it rains

  It pours buckets

  Falling from her weary heart

  Calling her into darkness

  To rise again

  With light in her eyes

• Daily Bliss – November 23

  

  She sees her tears 

  And fears 

  As helpers 

  Pulling her out 

  Of her dark spaces 

  By shining light on where 

  She needs to go 

  And grow

  Through all her years 

  And many tears 

  The light has not gone out 

  But has rather lit more fires 

  The more she tends 

  And makes amends 

  To her gentle heart 

  For nurturing her desires

  And when in her sorrow
  And her sadness
  Does she become the one
  Whom she has alway dreamed of being
  When does she stop waiting to be rescued
  And know that even through her tears
  She is, every day, rescuing herself

• Daily Bliss – June 8

  

  In the end, she thought
  Does it even really matter
  If I shed these angry tears
  Does anyone ever listen?
  And in the pause
  Between life and breath
  She knew
  And she went back out
  To live another day

• Daily Bliss – May 8

  

  She climbs
  With her broken heart in her pocket
  And her tears carving the path
  Striving toward a hand to hold
  And lead the way
  Up, over, and through
  What she thought would break her
  But instead has saved her

• Surrender

  

  For all who feel the sorrow

  For all who carry the gravity
  Of a situation they can’t control

  For all who feel useless inside

  For all who feel scared outside
  Yet go on anyway

  For all who feel joy in the quiet moments
  Despite the burning around them

  For all who don’t see a way forward

  I envision for us the blocks being carried away

  I envision for us the streams running free
  Carrying away our collective tears

  I envision for us the waves of grief washing over
  Leaving us battered and spurting and healed

  I envision us holding each other’s hands
  In sweet surrender
