Catching My Breath

Posted on April 5, 2023 by Sue Santiago

when Hard
takes a new face

digs in
digs deep
claws at my roots
chisels my foundation

days to weeks to months,
to clench to grind to gnash,
to tears to cries to wails

to surrender.

It's different than
to give up

I’m learning the balance of letting go and holding loosely what burdens my heart.

  It is such an ebb and flow, learning to find balance in our journey.
