Wisdom from members

I AM CHANGING
Bless the confusion. Let it be.
Commend it to Earth
– like autumn leaves,
scattering, half-rotten,
seeding the future,
becoming fertile food,
for sleeping rose roots.
Be a leaf. Lie low. Be blown.
Receive rain. Fly to Earth.
Become a rose.
I bless the confusion and let be
– between seasons, I am
changing into me
