Care-Giving

Care-Giving

Care-giving ... sacred work....

giving the opportunity

to share space and provide service

to those who appear in 'need.'

administering to myself

thru the apparent sick

......feeding.....comforting.....

being present

with a hurting aspect of myself

.......and the experiences

the 'other' relays to me

.....well, that is me, too

asking healing from Myself

.......acknowledging a more expansive

me than commonly accepted.

So grateful to have these 'others' arise,

so I can embrace it all as me!!

moving closer

to the healing of our mind

with loving care.
