Mother Poem:


Slow go

So slow it looks like a no

Don’t be fooled by my pace; I have what I need to place in the race

Slower now, but so alive

Dive

In

To all the sides - Cool, Deep, Soothing, Slow

A way to go

A way that brings more

Of what you need

Today



Child Poem:


By the power

of the Black

Blue

Sea

Tear it down and set us free

(“A spell for when you’re stuck and want to get free of something, Mom”)


Do these resonate with you? Do you need to give yourself permission (to go slowly)? To feel powerful (while moving slowly)? You are and you can, so do it.
