RE: Girl in a Box - A living poem
This is a beautiful poem and very well written. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. It takes a lot of courage to share, but it helps to bring us a little closer together in our shared humanity. I love that you've found love's spring in the midst of pain and sorrow.
The imagery of the "box" also reminded me of another poem by Mary Oliver called "The Uses of Sorrow":
"(In my sleep I dreamed this poem)
Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift."
@idyllwild ! I love your blog and what you put into it from your heart. It is truly beautiful - like you. Thank you so much for this lovely post and sharing Mary Oliver's poem - I will definitely go and read the rest of it. Enjoy your day on your very beautiful farm (dream of ours, too!) :)
