Chocolate
Chocolate
Coat your children with realism
And leave holes for
The imagination.

Porous Endurance
Porous Endurance
Carries pain
That is lighter.
A reminder,
as an advisor.
When balanced with laughter
One has space to flourish.

Friendship: A true friend combines respect, humor, honesty, love, and trust.

Friendship: A true friend combines respect, humor, honesty, love, and trust.
Recently, I challenged myself to apply to a highly competitive retreat for women writers for 2025 acceptance. The application went beyond the ones I have filled out for college acceptance, or any professional position. I passed weeks writing and revising my answers. Filling the pages with my thoughts and desires, explaining who I was and what I wanted to accomplish with my project.

Metamorphosis: Beginning, Ending, Beginning
Metamorphosis: Beginning, Ending, Beginning
The Caterpillar says goodbye
As the Butterfly says hello.
The end of one world welcomes
the next
Becoming is always a shedding.
The body holds us
The mind frees us
Recognize the caterpillar
And butterfly within
All of us.

Release: Freedom in My World
Release Me into My World
Toss me back into the water.
Allow me to swim as a mermaid.
Toss me back into the air
To flutter my wings and fly free.
Toss, save, release me
From the mold.
I’ll land again and again.
Beached or perched,
To find my hold.

Renew your daily vows.
Accept grace.

Abbe’s Ruminations December 2023: A letter to Geraldine Brooks that may not be sent.
Welcome to my newsletter, Abbe’s Ruminations. I mull, contemplate, ponder – old and new experiences, finding what I call the joy and laughter of repetition or the abandonment to not knowing.
Dear Geraldine,
The year is 2023, and I’m going to be seventy-one. Why is this important? You wrote a book in 2008 called, People of the Book. I would not have understood the depth of emotions that your fictionalized historical story told, until this year.

More or Less: Holes of Opportunity
More or Less: Holes of Opportunity
The more I give,
The more I see
A bottomless pool of opportunity.
The more I control.
The less I receive.
A prison of rules that deceive.
The more holes
I discover,
The more I learn,
Life is that of a lover.
More or Less.
Contact Abbe at http://www.abberolnick.com to share your thoughts and see more of her writings.
