A month ago today I redirected my life. I am hurt, but I am healing. Lines of poetry have been floating through my head, and on this special day I strung them together. ~ I am of the desert. There is sand in my blood and flowers in my hair. I sunbathe with lizards. I howl at the moon with the coyotes. I live among the sage the juniper and the grasses. I bloom after a heavy rain. My soul belongs to the mountains in big skies. My heartland called me home. I know my strength. I know my power. I know my beauty. I am whole. ~
