– david shared a poem he had heard at a werma gathering: she let go by safire rose. https://safire-rose.com/books-and-media/poetry/she-let-go “…she didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope, she just let go…” 

– carol shared, but unfortunately did not sing, snippets of song lyrics including: “dropped in to see what condition my condition is in” [isn’t that what meditation is?], part of  john prine’s “the accident” and a few lines from leonard cohen’s well-known song – anthem – “…there’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in…” [that song, of course, is about cohen finally figuring out why he had trouble developing prints in his basement dark room…]
