Tenderness – California Notebooks, 2015

Posted on January 20, 2015 by anna mosca

Standard

I long for your hand
reaching out to you
in your solitary time

it feels right to exchange
tenderness as rare
a garment today

everyone wearing
passion, jealousy, envy
claiming to feel

alive consumed indeed
that common look
wearing everything out

underwear outerwear
deeds feelings selfies
very little left beneath

simply I reach out
to your hand let it be
all with all its significance

The poem is so profound and true in our society, Anna. You might enjoy the presentation of Brene Brown, Ph. D. who talks with a great sense of humor about the the issues you write about. https://www.udemy.com/the-power-of-vulnerability/?couponCode=b2971d24-91cc-422f-9cc5-6292cd53b59d

  Thank you for the link Alina, I just listened to it and she’s right on. Good point on being hyper aware of lack and focusing too much on scarcity. We do need re-programming on gratefulness for every little thing that makes us great and not miserable.
