A Woman’s Peace in Mid-Life
The older I get,
the less I want,
the less I look for approval,
the less I base my happiness on circumstances,
the less I try to change people,
the less I carry,
and the more I am aware of
the brevity of this life,
the more I trust in the Beloved’s guidance,
the more I love my body,
and the more I find delight in the
smallest of everyday moments, like
my children curled up next to me on the sofa,
my breath on a crisp winter day,
warm socks,
tea with a dear friend,
my puppy snoring,
the golden pinks of the sun setting,
and in the quiet of the evening,
taking my husband’s hand and saying,
“Come to bed, my Love.”
