This is profound, Meredith, well done! Indeed, we are not the "doer". We are being done. We are not the thinker, we are being thought. The ego has a tough time with these truths! 😂 Keep up the powerful wisdom! ❣️

Yes, bravo. I’m glad I’ve gotten to a point in life where the urge to do gives way a little - a lot? - to the ability simply to be.

That’s really beautiful and challenging. Especially for a type A personality, oldest daughter.

Glad you liked it Kimberly. You’re right it isn’t easy for certain personality types.

That's a great way to start a Monday Meredith - I love your Poem - it starts with the energy of the Ego! then gives advice, then Surrender! That's a Fantastic Poem, you have the Poetry in YOU, I feel the move has opened up a whole new world for YOU! Thankyou Meredith:_)xx

Yes i agree. A whole new world. Think i’ve always loved philosophical poems, but thoughtthey were beyond me 🤍
