Connection

Circle of women

Some known

Some unknown

Words chosen

Words shared

Words embraced

Hearts open

Words resisted

Hearts closed

Ongoing pandemic

An experience shared by all

Connection

Stillness broken by sound of pen on paper

Flow of breath dancing with intensity

Words spilling onto the empty page

Deep heartfelt sharing

The pain of disconnection rising

Space held

Yearning for connection emerges

Grief of loss

Loss of a way of being

Grief acknowledged

Grief validated

No turning back now

Hearing the call to expand

Opening to explore unknown ways of connecting

Awareness

Allowing

Accepting

Unfolding into

Being enfolded by greater consciousness

Process of evolution

Holding space for grief and joy at the same time
