The Journey Inward

Oh, I did. 
In Tribeca
With a friend new to one of my favorite poets. 
I whispered,
“See you in two hours!”
as the lights went down. 
I was ready to be all in. 

Andrea Gibson’s poetry
moves me,
inspires me,
motivates me,
empowers me,
speaks to me. 

Their words,
as well as their partner’s,
Megan Falley,
have changed my life. 

So this film about Andrea dying
might seem grim,
and it is devastating,
but it is more about love,
in all its forms. 
And it is about 
LIVING,
fully, presently,
wholeheartedly. 

It made me laugh,
think, cry, feel. 
I left grateful
and altered. 

Amazing conversations 
followed that day
and in the days since.
