Dear readers,


Sorry for disappearing like this again (I seem to be doing that a lot lately but summers over here are always crazy!!) So I've been really busy lately with barely enough time to breathe. My sister and her family are visiting from NJ, there is a wedding and a graduation in the family coming up, one of my colleagues has had a family emergency so I've had to cover some of his shifts...and you already know...our dear trusted nanny is still in India! This chapter was almost ready but I haven't had time to go over it once. I will most definitely post in tonight...around 10:30, my time.

Thank you so much for waiting and I loved all the songs and poems that you've shared here 🤗 I adore you all for your interest and investment ❤️


Loads of love,

Jen

A poem for Arnav by one of my fave poets :)


The Layers
by Stanley Kunitz

I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
When I look behind,
as I am compelled to look
before I can gather strength
to proceed on my journey,
I see the milestones dwindling
toward the horizon
and the slow fires trailing
from the abandoned camp-sites,
over which scavenger angels
wheel on heavy wings.
Oh, I have made myself a tribe
out of my true affections,
and my tribe is scattered!
How shall the heart be reconciled
to its feast of losses?
In a rising wind
the manic dust of my friends,
those who fell along the way,
bitterly stings my face.
Yet I turn, I turn,
exulting somewhat,
with my will intact to go
wherever I need to go,
and every stone on the road
precious to me.
In my darkest night,
when the moon was covered
and I roamed through wreckage,
a nimbus-clouded voice
directed me:
"Live in the layers,
not on the litter."
Though I lack the art
to decipher it,
no doubt the next chapter
in my book of transformations
is already written.
I am not done with my changes
