Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Dont open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we live be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

A poem of wonder for today. 💕 Gratefuk for the words of @clintsmithiii.bsky.social . #blueskypoetry #poetry #booksky

Meet Ms. Olive, she’s a prehensile-tailed skink (the world’s largest type of Skink native to the Solomon Islands). We met her at the @lubeebatcon.bsky.social Bats & Brews today and we love her.

When I don’t know what to do, I turn to poems. I have had @clintsmithiii.bsky.social’s Above Ground for a little while now and felt drawn to it this morning. This was the first poem that met me in all that is this moment for me and for us. I am so grateful for these words from his poem.
