Like a Baby

So many new babies this spring
and news of more babies
and pictures of minutes old
days old
week old
babies.
Imagine seeing through their eyes.
Just waking up
just now seeing the world
just now
just now
just now seeing
until they stop seeing things that way
like us.

I’m seeing the world
a little differently these days

today

just now.

About Sharon

Like anyone who lives long enough, I have experienced great loss and survived. I am convinced that my survival depends on my own participation in creating the reality I am living in, and I am determined to be a thoughtful and active participant/creator. These writings are my way of documenting that creation. As the song goes, "I will survive!" I chose the title Staying Vertical because I find that surviving isn't just staying on my feet physically. Keeping my thoughts and emotions on the vertical plane keeps me alive and moving forward. Thanks for joining me!
