Serendipity

Serendipity


The things that happen,
and when they happen,
can be amazing.

Take yesterday.
It was just yesterday.
A colleague said.
"I liked your 'Woodstack' poem".

I was thrilled.
I didn't even know
that she knew about it.

So, I went home and 
sent a 'tweet'.
Told the twitter using world that
'someone liked my poem'!

Next thing
someone (EmilyJones)
replied
"loved it"

Well...
I was bowled over,
ecstatic.

First ...nothing
and now
two people
on the same day!!!

Then I found
a TED talk
by 
Brene Brown
talking about
vulnerability.

Following that
with 
tears 
as I watched
on 
Youtube
as
Jim Stynes
grappled with
his cancer.

All too much
for me.
Overwhelmed.

Serendipity
you're
roughing me up.

I'm
ready
to
poet
harder...

now.
