Callings

Each of us
Uniquely broken
Into pieces
That leave in us
Our life’s calling

Callings

Diverse in purpose
But not intensity

And though I admit

I am often
Fully consumed

Life deep in the causes

That my own broken heart
Has led me to

Each time I lift

My tired eyes

I am overcome with awe

At the sight of my sisters
Living their own callings
Just as deeply
 
I see us weary and driven

I see us not giving up

I see us

Changing this world

With our passion
And our pain

And I am happy

To do
My part

 

The callings around me that inspire me now…

Breast cancer awareness
Cannabis reform
Disability / Inclusion
Dog rescue
Mental Illness awareness
Racial equality
Women’s Rights
etc…
