Joelle, this is so powerful! I love the imagery of trying to fight on our own and then realizing we need someone greater to fight for us. That "new noble name" line really hit me—such a beautiful reminder of grace. Thanks for sharing!
this is so interesting. i used to mentally beat myself up, like mentally punch myself when I was ashamed of something. but not I mentally pick up a sword and fight off my demons. i think your poem reflects that process.
Another lovely read, Joelle! How are you settling in to your new digs?
Slowly but surely. I feel like there’s more to do when you get to the final destination then when you first left the other place.
It's huge for sure! Take it easy on yourself- it will come together 🌻🙏
