Loved this... from the beautiful uplifting and empowering poem to the ancestral dive and of course the music. Funny, this week I walked by the piano, which I too often walk by and said... sit down and play for 30 minutes. Not later. Now. And I did, for over an hour. I know this helps my creativity, but I often stifle myself because I'm too rusty or trip over the keys or have to squint to read the music. This week now, every day, I sit, I play ( not Joplin, though that song reminds me of my childhood too) and then go write, go dive deeper into stories that somehow made me though I was never told them. Thank you for this. I relate on so so many levels to what you've said here. So weird, that just an hour-ish away some other adoptee is doing something so similar to what you wrote here .... so thanks for sharing your beautiful poem, your beautiful words and letting others know (by others I mean me) they aren't alone. We adoptees are each others mirrors.
Thank you, Hannah! The other day when I was feeling lost, I thought, I do have a community, the adoption community, and I so value you and your stories and how the universe speaks through you.
