I have been trying to choose one of youe haikus to tattoo on my other arm, to mirror the tattoo of the last three lines of the custom poem. But this one. These are the words. These are perfection.
Would it be okay with you if I had it tattooed in your handwriting? My tattoo artist says he can use the picture and turn it into a template so that it could look like your handwriting. But I wanted to make sure that was okay with you first.
The last three lines of the custom poem you wrote are left forearm right below the elbow bend. It's my profile pic here, but you can't see it well because it wouldn't let me zoom/crop the pic. So this one is going to go on the right forearm to mirror that. Hopefully before Christmas. And of course I'll show you. I want to show the world!
I really really love this one, it’s so illustrative of the challenges and heartache we’ve been faced with throughout this year (and life period, let’s be honest) that have been completely out of our control. And a fantastically beautiful reminder to fight not flee when we do encounter a gust that bends us to the ground. To be resilient and flexible. Conversely, I have a thought... what of those lonely, jagged, and broken twigs and branches that have bent to their brink, weathered and worn, and accepted defeat? They lay tattered on the ground from being unable to bend just that little bit more... Something to ponder and use as a follow up challenge for journaling... :) xo
I think that's the key, the out of our control part. That's been the hardest part of this period, just feeling like there's NOTHING we can do. And yes, what a wonderful follow up.
This is timely for me today. I had been thinking about the pains of this year and about relationships/friendships that have suffered the most. It’s been a hard year. Still feeling the bend and feeling encouraged that I will not break. Thank for for putting to words what many of us are feeling.
what a freakin mantra. say it over and over until it’s all you can believe. “stronger than the pain and able to defeat it. this will not break me.” this will not break me

ABSOLUTELY! IF I get to see it after! Where will you put it?

It HAS been a hard year, and I call it such victory that we're still here, still standing. What a thing.
