Welcome to Litsy!

@Magpiegem your post really resonated with me, as I feel exhausted some days from sadness over things happening in this world I can do little about. I love the idea of this book and thought it was perfect timing! National Poetry month is coming up so I am sharing it here too. @TheBookHippie it seems like one you would love also ❤️❤️❤️❤️

13/22 I am heavy with grief for what is happening in our world. In Ukraine, in Myanmar, in Afghanistan, in Yemen, in Sudan, in Ethiopia, in Iraq, in Somalia, in Uganda, in Syria to name a few (trust me the others keep me awake at night too). As I sit in my safe warm home with my healthy, nourished family I feel beyond helpless for those who are suffering. I give money, though I know it doesn‘t make a dent. So I reached for this book for my sanity.

A little injection of hope is what I need today. Thank you Emily Dickinson 💙

I‘ve been anxious about the course my life is taking recently, I‘ve been offered an opportunity that I know will change everything. It means I will have to draw myself up and out of my comfort zone, further than I have ever gone before. But this book, and this poem, make sense. I don‘t need to know the ending, I just need to enjoy the journey 🌄👣💙
