Julia, only you could make me think of Thich Nhat Hanh, Mary Oliver, Pope Francis, and Rachel Held Evans all at once in the same lovely lyric! Wow, this was the life-giving word that I needed in this 97-degree afternoon in the 'burbs of the beanpot. The images I return to: the foot-kissing and the world as ICU where the surest cure is kindness. A doubly genuflective namaste to this luminous poem.
This is written so beautifully and tenderly. This truly is a precious poem 🙏 kindness truly is the cure - your gentle expression is such a powerful one too.
So wonderfully said. Thank you. 💜💜💜
Michelle, thank you so much. xo
Just picked up Suleika's new book on Monday....need to get busy with it soon!
I hope you enjoy it, Karen. I am savoring my last pages...there is so much goodness in this one book.

Dear Allegra, thank you for this thoughtful, touching message. Thank you for taking the time to read my words. So much love to you, Julia
So love your expression of kindness.
I especially love the precious presence of being kind and respectful to everyone you encounter.
Even, at the grocery store or at the petrol station filling up one’s car.
Thank you, Carol. I very much appreciate these words from you. I am grateful that you took the time to read my poem.
