If I Need (Poem) by Leanne Dyck

Inspired by Tamara Levitt’s Daily Calm Meditation. I have anxiety and have greatly benefited from these daily sessions.

If I Need


I am enough.
I am whole.

If I need love,
I give myself love.

If I need acceptance,
I give myself acceptance.

I give to others
the gift of my completeness.



Written in February 2026.

And just because I found this while out walking with my dog.

Bouquet

He pulled the fuzzy-headed weeds
one by one by one
from the soil.

He wrapped his chubby little hand
around the bundle
of stems.

With a smile,
he presented the dandelions
to his mother.

She filled a vase
with them,
treasuring them
as flowers.





On Mayne Island

Mayne Island's shiny new dock.

The best news about the shiny new dock: the ferry schedule is back to normal. So the first sailing has been moved back to 7:10 am—from 6:40 am. This is really good news, especially with regard to these next week, as I'll be on the ferry a lot.
