Embracing Eternity: Discovering Joy in Mortality
As National Poetry Month nears its end, I thought it would be the perfect time to share a very new (and very long) poem I wrote about befriending my mortality and the countless ways that process has increased the joy in my life. If you’ve been subscribed to Things That Don’t Suck for some time, you will notice that many of the lines in this piece are familiar. One of the added gifts of writing this newsletter is it commonly inspires new poems. Yay for that! If you prefer to listen to the poem, you can listen below. Thank you for being here everyone. …. - - - - - - - - - - - …. Thank you for reading, sweet friends! And because this community is so very special to me, it would bring me so much happiness if you would offer suggestions on a potential title for this piece. I thought about titling it before I sent it your way, then realized it would mean so much more to me if it was titled by one of you. Please leave your title ideas in the comments. Thank you so much! Love, Andrea 🖤 Thank
