Being good enough


there is a squeak deep within me


calling me to be more


a better mother,


a better lover,


a better friend,


a better consumer,


a better artist,


a better meditator,


a better teacher,


a better animal lover,


a better rolemodel,


a better saver,


a better conservationist,


a better listener,


a better groomer,


a better writer,


a better daughter,


a better house cleaner,


a better gardener,


a better reader,


a better thinker,


a better correspondent,


a better eater,


a better breather,


when the words i long to hear,


that when i dare to open my heart's-ears to them


and drink them in to sooth this parched dry picture of who i have become


i become still


and full


and soothed


are:


"It is alright, darling you are enough as you are, you are enough, you are enough...."

  1. Another excellent painting.
    Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent.
    I wish you could feel my heart singing as I look at your wondeful artwork.
    I want you to hear me when I say (and I mean it 100%) that you are enough just as you are. You are enough. You are enough. You are enough.
    You are abundantly enough.
    xxooxx
