I like the idea of God pouring love through us = indeed we are God's instrument, and it is good that we always remember that. It makes kindness have an even greater purpose. And, ah, the first flowers of spring - symbolic, I think of that hope....and perhaps a sign of God's kindness to the earth?? We can learn....Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-86028521742587732692019-03-07T04:21:46.099-05:002019-03-07T04:21:46.099-05:00Every word has a halo of contentment, peace, grati...Every word has a halo of contentment, peace, gratitude and love. The poem itself gets a vast expanse of freedom with the inclusion of the sky. "our feet leave paths of should behind." Exactly. Love the restfulness.

But like your poem says, the actual act of letting go is easy (after we've done it). And when we look back at the whole thing, moving away from what did nothing good (for us or others) feels like a kindness for all. <br /><br />Love that final "Oh", that release..
