good news
for the hopeless:
to set an intention
means to plan
for hope
even if
especially if
you don’t feel it yet;
to set an intention
means to plan
for faith
not because you feel it
but because you dare;
intention
comes from the Latin
for stretch
& set
is an old word
for sit;
so
to set an intention
is to sit with yourself
no matter how hopeless
burned out
weary
even faithless
you feel.
& as you sit with yourself
& all of your pain
in time you may find
your spirit moves
stretches
reaches
through it
in a way that can only
be described as
miraculous.
so sit with yourself
dear one
& reach.
Your poetry is illuminating Jenna. Like a buoy in the middle of a turbulent ocean, it reminds me that I am not foolish for having hope — in spite of the chaos that surrounds me — your words encourage me to KEEP REACHING FOR MY NORTH STAR. No matter the day. No matter the weather. #dontgiveup 🌟 💫
