Hello Blog Readers, Please enjoy this poem by my colleague, Ziji Beth Goren.
Recipe for Life
I heard about life from a friend
so I took the opportunity
sent for the recipe
mixed up a batch
and popped out a child.
I had birthed myself,
a new version,
shiny and wet with laughter.
Fresh start,
held and rocked by a new caring world
who loved themselves and the planet
and its people more than ever before
more than I thought possible.
And my baby kept gurgling with smiles,
kicking chubby legs
reaching from a sturdy core
so resilient
so bright with vision.
I carried my child
everywhere I went,
changed everyone I met.
