WRITING PROMPT
Sonnets to Orpheus, Part One, IV
You who let yourselves feel: enter the breathing
that is more than your own.
Let it brush your cheeks
as it divides and rejoins beside you.
Blessed ones, whole ones,
you where the heart begins:
You are the bow that shoots the arrows
and you are the target.
Fear not the pain. Let its weight fall back
into the earth;
for heavy are the mountains, heavy the seas.
The trees you planted in childhood have grown
too heavy. You cannot bring them along.
Give yourselves to the air, to what you cannot hold.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~
Turn off the phone, close the door, read this poem and let it sink in for a few minutes.
1. What trees have grown too heavy?
2. Where does your heart begin?
3. Is the time right for you to enter the breathing? Why or why not? If not now, when?

I IMAGINED... a women's event sponsored by WWFC supporter and presenter
"I imagined" are
powerful words that begin the stories of countless extraordinary women who are
realizing their visions and dreams -- the kind of women who pick up their pen and respond to the
invitation to discover and use their voice to make things happen in the
world.
