Lucky Linus!
Being in the company of women, laughing and hugging and talking and eating and just being … it’s better than any security blanket ever made. I am so glad I ignored my mild joint aches and scratchy throat and isolationist tendencies and made my way to last night’s gathering. It has to have been among the loveliest evenings I have ever spent. There are plans afoot (hehehe) to make this a regular event. This time we met in someone’s home rather than at a restaurant. There was absolutely gorgeous artwork by our hostess on the walls, and comfy furniture; delicious food (it was a pot luck; oh yeah, Mrs. K does pot luck thingies now!); and absolutely gorgeous magnificent company. And yeah, of course I whittered about the experience.
Pot luck
Warm
cheeks flushed with the joy
in the company of women
who we are and have been
our pains and our hopes
threads woven into a rich luxurious
tapestry of strength and spirit
Every one beautiful
inner wonder shining from every pair of eyes
shaky in this new sharing
nurtured into relaxation
we breathe and sigh
laugh till we cry
cry until we see the joy anew
Breaking bread
mending and soaring
soft and strong and tonight
I was in the midst of woman glory
and for a blessed time my spirit sang
Good morning sweet poet. Sounds like a great evening *smiles*
