So many phrases I love here: "Of each newly-dressed day", "this breadth of time before time must peal forth, again—", and "I kneel to the nothing we are called from---'. For me,the poem calls me past the trappings of our holidays to remember we came from something void of everything but Love. And that Love is all the power we need to create tomorrow.Joyce Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905709719444916488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824466663015731028.post-34547307541058775522019-12-06T12:05:15.931-05:002019-12-06T12:05:15.931-05:00I laugh that you said that I inspired you, Sara.
