Good morning! Happy Sunday!

Such a beautiful creation tale, Trudi. The rhythm and rhyme carry the piece so gracefully, and the closing lines bring it full circle with quiet reverence. That final stanza gave me chills, wonderfully written. Your reading adds so much depth too,it’s amazing how you bring each line to life with that steady, graceful voice. I felt the rhythm and reverence even more hearing it aloud. Truly beautiful work. ❤️🥰✨️😍
