- "I Stopped Waiting For Awe To Find Me"
Something that has been reflected to me a lot this year is how much joy I’ve managed to find in this time, and how that’s difficult for people to wrap their minds around. I’m guessing it’s something that is far easier to wrap one’s heart around as it doesn’t make a lot of sense in my mind either. What I’m learning is that my experience is not uncommon, and though it may prove to be an experience not easily described with words, I hope to someday find the words to explain it. For now, here’s a little stream of thought (or stream-of-feel) piece I wrote.
***
Every moment of the day I can hear my mother on the other side of the country praying for my happiness. She doesn’t tell me she’s praying. My hearing has improved. More days than not, her prayers are wholly answered, but I know how difficult it is for anyone to believe the light of my joy has not been dimmed by cancer. The only way I can explain it is to say, I stopped waiting for awe to find me. Now I find it.

‘What kind of poet would I be if I could only make hard things beautiful on paper?’
I love how you fall into joy, and race into joy and dive with intention into the pleasure of the mundane and the divine (is there really a difference after all?).
every one of your poems adds to my 8 million 'wow's. thanks andrea
I regret that I only just today found your work but I'm in love with it so far. Thank you for doing what you do.

A big fan!
I LOVE YOU ANDREA ❤️
Thank you so, so very much for continuing to use your communicative gifts during this time of your life. Lately, I have been practicing leading a heart-centered life that is so much more present, genuine, beautiful, and full of joy than the brain-led life taught to me by my family and culture.
My brain keeps throwing tantrums and using fear tactics to try to get its dictatorship back, and that has been wild to experience. All of your words of wisdom shared here and through your blog have been so poignant and inspiring. I hope more people listen and hear you fully.
I love you so much. You are the AWE in so many lives and we're so better for having been apart of your life's experience. Thank you for the gift of you.
