Dearest Pathwork Lovers,
It was so good to be in the Pathwork circle with everyone yesterday. It's
always such a pleasure to be in direct communion with everyone doing this
work. It's uplifting, encouraging, promising and hopeful. I enjoyed
reading my "esteem bath" poetry and am posting it here publicly for anybody
who'd like to take a gander at 'em in tandem.
(Warning: S*hower curtain NOT included..*.)
Blessings to everyone on your journey,

*Esteem Bath *
It was an accidental time warp
that claimed our indentured adventure.
Somewhere in a silicone sky,
color whistles white clouds sideways
winding winds of change around
azure captions written in true teal script.
I wanna read your unwritten words
in some incomprehensible accent,
words that make angels whisper,
*“We’re not the only ones watching you…”*
while you slip insistently into your
own self esteem bath to wash away
the distant dirt I made you crawl through
when I never realized how bad off I was.

*Another Esteem Bath*
This bath couldn’t have come at
a more mystifying time in my life –
it opens my implorable pores to more
possible potentiality than I ever
considered before I came to these
crossroads in my crisscrossing life.
I’m embracing new inevitabilities
with some of those long released
inklings and all of these vanquished
inabilities I’ve kept for so long on the table.
Hell, if this just ain’t the best way to
soak in a tub as the Big Door Prize
plays in the background, then I don’t
know how we’re gonna see the big old
hearts dancin’ in our eyes.
*(with a big nod to John Prine and Iris Dement)*
