What a delightful, thoughtful, inspiring post, Shelly!

Beautiful poem ~ the line "allow life & books to gestate like elephants" caught my eye.

So much wisdom in the prose that follows your beautiful poetic voice. 💕🙏 🪶

Thank you for the gift of all these wonderful words, Shelly! I love your poem and the way you convey the oh-so-human struggle to find balance between/among so many things, but especially being and doing, and I very much appreciate your reminder to recognize and stay connected to our true work. I'm so, so glad you're in the world sharing your words and the words of others!!
