Yes! And my favorite Hindu goddess (not that I'm terribly well-versed in this) Akhilandeshvari -- Never Not Broken. xo

Thank you, Patty. Just what I needed to read this morning, from you, the person who taught me how to sit with the discomfort of the brokenness and the yearning for wholeness, union.

This reminds me of a moment decades ago when we were in the Adirondacks with family. Jena was playing at the edge of a lake. We were about to go to town for something or other. I can’t remember just what she was doing but I asked her to step back as she was getting her shoes wet. She responded that it was okay —- “None water not wet!”

Beautiful statement! Have you encouraged Jena to expand on it in a current poem? "none water, not wet" SO good!!!

Thank you for sharing this Peggy. it makes my day!
