Happy Women's Day

A poem written some time back, dedicated to all women...


I am and I have been
I am now and I am yesterday

I have seen time passing
And I have moved alongside time

I have seen the world change
And changed with the world

I have lived my life - Not always graciously
But always determined to make it

And here I am now
Been there done that

I see the world as it is around me
But it does not affect me anymore

I am at peace
At peace with myself and the world around me

I am content
And I live my life as it was the last day of my life

I am here and there and tomorrow

I am past, present and future

I AM

A poem by Etty Hillesum

It has been a long time since I posted anything, I guess some time was needed to fill this creative vessel ;) This morning as I was opening my little book, 'Taking Time to Just Be' the page with this poem opened: Such words as "god" and "death" and "suffering" and "eternity" are best forgotten.   We have to become as simple and as wordless  as the growing corn or the falling rain  We must just be. Etty Hillesum I don't know about you but for me, 'to just be' is sometimes quite hard, there is always something to do, some project, some thoughts, some poem, some painting. But the moments when it happens, when I am just in that moment, everything just brightens up, there is a peacefulness within, a golden moment....

I am free at last...

Free at last When you look up to the sky you'll see me in the clouds whispering 'I am free' When you feel the wind carressing your face you will hear me whispering 'I am free' When you feel the rain gently rolling down your cheeks you will hear me 'I am free' When you look up to the stars at night you will know 'I am free'   When you watch the eagles dancing in the sky you will know I am free at last! c J.
