The Fire in Her Heart

The light in her eyes,
the fire in her heart

It was time for a whole new way
of life to start

She was filled with the joy,
the expansion, the growing

This is just the start
of a new way of knowing

She has discovered a gift
and will now pass it on

As an accredited teacher
of T’ai Chi . . . Chih!

[This is a poem I wrote at the Albuquerque Teacher Training in November. It was inspired by Alba Cordasco as she wept in gratitude and joy after her Wednesday night interview with Pam and Sandy, but is dedicated to all 17 members of the teacher training class. — Debbie]
