Unshakably strong
Deeply feeling
She is a visionary
She weeps with her loss
and lifts her head with her remaining strength
to greet the next blessing
She explores and she learns
She relearns and relearns
She is fierce in her loving
She is brave in her vulnerability
She is pragmatic and
wildly creative
She delights in the beauty of a moment
and leans into momentary change
She is water
She is chaotic and powerful
She is gentle and playful
She moves with grace and
fills in every crevice
She changes the landscape
She is still as a pond
She holds life and creates possibility
She lives with rock and earth
sky
and plant
and animal
always grateful for their different way
She springs forth
journeys
and finds her end
in God
