Ebb & Flow no matter how much we try to prolong the day to make it last longer, eventide arrives bearing nuances of untrammeled virtues, in tones of splendidly tinged life lessons that add wisdom on the most trifling of us until we come to see our uniqueness not sabotaging the ebb and flow that gets us closer to the sky where we embrace our essence face to face reflected in our human-ness to help us thrive in the waltz of each hour *** © 2021 selmamartin.com
Today I share a double Etheree poem: Ebb & Flow, written for

Beautiful and thought provoking! I’ve always been a night owl, often trying to prolong the day, but then I sleep late in the morning. I love this part: until we come to see our uniqueness, accepting the natural ebb and flow….
Night-owling— me too. 😆 🙈
