big feeling

this smallness I am cannot hold
this feeling
that hums
& breaks into joy

did you plant it there
or is it always waiting
cradled in ribs
budded and quiet

until you whisper it open?

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?
