Read an Excerpt

When I mother my inner child
I sing stories of respect
and I listen
I listen to her and invite her to sing along

“Michelle Lovett’s writing is at turns deeply heartfelt, funny and ironic, contemplative and full of joy and wonder.”

Skipping Stone

Greet the sky-lit-red with rising into day because today
we are unapologetically joyed
keys unlock every door
wishes become vision and visions become paths to travel

no bodies stay stuck because consciousness
evolves and bodies are meant to open
hearts welcome a new day where we know
that stones are no longer for throwing
only for stepping or skipping

I take my stone wisk it into the water
thanking the sun ripples for the wisdom of
brilliant shimmered mirrors
reflecting my essence shining my way
in the onward moving stillness of now
