"Most days, the pain I feel isn't mine at all . . .

These lines are from a poem my talented daughter, Holly Hatch , wrote just today:

I have only been truly alive in my adult being for 5 years
- and I’m still learning -
still trying to remember that most days,
the pain I feel
isn’t mine at all.
It’s the energy that circles our heads
-it’s the uncertainty- of the state of the world
around us
It’s the sorrow
the sadness
the loss, 
the love
the sunset or the sunrise that we pray 
to God 
won’t fade
until we can soak the changing colors into our being
and let it fuel us with a knowing
that there is something bigger than ‘I.’
