Jag fick en dikt i mejlboxen häromdagen av kära Helena. En dikt ”om dig” skrev hon. Oh, ja! Dikten är av Tara Sophia Mohr, författare och coach med fokus på kvinnors ledarskap och välmående. Tack, Helena, för omtanken och för en ny spännande bekantskap.
There is always the possibility
of reinvention
—
sometimes born of longing
sometimes offered faintly,
like birdsong in your ear
—
sometimes—
born of pain.
—
Life is long for a reason.
So that every chapter swells
with a new chapter of us,
—
so there is time to change
the meaning of your name
to everyone around you,
and especially
to you.
—
When the name that once meant
tired girl comes to mean
she who rose again,
—
–then
art begins.
—
I met a woman
whose house burned down
and in the ashes
she found the blaze of her self.
—
Now it roars
still angry, sometimes uncontrolled,
always a blinding light.
—
If you see her on the street,
bow to her courage.
Stare back into her flickering animal eyes,
and know, she is fighting a fight.
-Tara Sophia Mohr
