I've read this poem so many times and each time I'm overwhelmed. Love and acceptance. The lack of judgement. The love. Maybe because I know addiction. Maybe because people loved me then when I thought I was unloveable. Especially then.
To be witnessed by another is one of life’s greatest blessings. To be appreciated, it’s greatest honors. @jesse.millner , you did both so beautifully and I am forever Grateful!
Sometimes you read a poem and it's just right for that moment in your life, and you sort of melt into it, and of course you can't bear the feelings that overwhelm you, but you do, anyway. I love Ada Limon.
Met an Irish woman at a poetry event and told her I was going to visit Ireland this summer because I had a dream and a voice told me I had to go, so she drew me a map on a napkin. I will follow it because this is how I live my life these days.
