When the Hardest Thing Is Showing Up

The courage to arrive in a world that’s not always welcoming.

This is week two of Sound Insight’s series in celebration of National Poetry Month.

This week’s poem is called Arrival Rite.

In this reflection and poem, I explore what it takes to show up, especially when the world does not feel welcoming. And how that rite of arrival can lead to a sense of worthiness that runs deeper than the stories we are told or the ones we believe about ourselves.
