That opening line--

"The world is a mad disaster, and yet

the hummingbird still comes to my feeder

to sip sweetness."

I have had a similar thought so many times over the last few months. If feels like the world has gone mad, and yet nature keeps showing up. The birds keep singing.

And then this line--

"My mind

is a wild mess of a thing, and yet

there is wisdom buried deep in my belly

that is wildly, roaringly powerful."

Oh yes! Thank you so much for this, Julia. This poem is so powerful.
