Tender Rebellion

After: Relax, you’ve arrived

Not restricted to poems alone, my After series will also occasionally delve into other sources. This poem was inspired by Just One Thing, a newsletter by Rick Hanson.

after Rick Hanson, PhD

the cup I drink from this morning washes up on the shore
the eye that receives a sunrise this morning washes up on the shore
the smile of a friend that lands in my heart this morning washes up on the shore
I step onto the shore
leave the unmet
for now

👏 That was definitely asking to be made into a poem, and you were just the one to do it.
