You may think that you need to find an answer in order to have peace of mind. But if you choose peace of mind now, you will have an answer. On a path of growth, we don’t get rid of chaos. We learn how to dance in the uncertainty, breathe through fire, and discover strengths we never knew we had. —Tama Kieves
If this is it
The two gray haired women
Sitting at the table
With the books
The strawberries
The chocolates
Writing
Is it enough for me
This slice of life
Recorded on paper
Enough if no one else knows?
Probably not
I think I’ve had a life-long need
To be heard
To bring others along to the party
Don’t you want to party, too?
Move one foot, then the other
You’re dancing
Even before you realize it
Dancing to life’s music
If I could learn it
You could, too
Dance
Write
Be
It all starts right here
At the table
Two women
Sitting
Writing
Sharing the moment and the words.
Diane

Dale Midgette Smith
Yes, indeed: love.
Julene
Oh my! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Dale
Thank you, my dear friend.
MK
I love the contrast of quiet, unheralded writing with the life of the party dance attitude. A life with both is sweet indeed. xo
Dale
Well, yes, you indeed know how sweet both are in life! Thank you for your comment, Mary.
Andy Horne
Ah, quite the delight to read, to think about it, to imagine the experiences and opportunities. Thanks for sharing…Andy
Dale
Hello, Andy…thank you for your comment. I appreciate hearing how something I had written inspires your imagination.
Heidi
Thank you for inviting me to the dance. I see this poem as a tango that starts with a gaze, a move, a pause, a step, and then it flows.
Dale
Heidi, what a beautiful response. I appreciate your comment and the picture you painted.
