Only 4 more cards to go. Here are the penultimate poems:
Dear Peter,
Sometimes, we must walk
along a dark path to find light–
sometimes, solitude fills
the gaps, requires that we empty before
we fill–
we expand and contract,
sing or wail,
find ways to be peaceful
in struggle–we are brave
and strong together and apart–

Dear Jacqui,
The light pierces through the
rigid rib cage, the protected
sinews and muscles that pump
blood through my body–
I am warmed, full, brave–
the world glistens, my
cells the same as the bark
of that tree, this bird,
that ant–

Dear Susan,
Each subtle opening– when we
notice connection– transforms
our vision, our subtle bodies–
we are moving closer to each
other — to our fullest
heart-beings–
with each breath, we move
closer to joy—
