we create. we struggle. we falter. we pick ourselves back up. we are outrageously witty. we are strong. we are soft. we juggle. we drive too fast. we bend. we stand up straight. we know what we want. we compromise. we explore. we laugh. we are hard on ourselves. we ache. We swing on the monkey bars. we are forgetful. we are merciless. we are merciful. we rush around. we remember. we learn. we eat bad food. we forge ahead. we scale back. we are sensual. we travel. we are colorful. we share. we are earthy. we swim in the ocean. we are nurturers. we are rockstars. we commune. we feel alone. we jump in puddles. we fail. we try again. we try our best. we show up. we protect our children. we are afraid. we are fearless. we create life. we watch life end. we get sick. we commiserate. we envy. we ruminate. we heal. we are curious. we are stubborn. we change our minds. we reason. we weep. we commit. we over commit. we fight. we make up. we do laundry. we challenge. we allow ourselves to be challenged. we love our planet. we never forget. we ask for help. we lust. we wake up early. we oversleep. we compare. we hold our babies. we discover unbearable joy. we need more rest. we swear. we know undeniable sorrow. we shout yes to the moon. we wait. we choose. we teach. we retreat. we come back. we groove. we hope. we hold on. we tilt our faces to the sun.
we write.
this is who we are.

Oh, I just LOVE this, Jen!
We tilt our faces to the sun. Yes. Yes, we do.
And, we throw caution to the winds.
Magpie! Yes! I was hoping others would add what i'd missed. thank you!
LM - thanks
"we teach. we retreat. we come back. we groove. we hope. we hold on."
Absolutely.
And we carry on. we carry others.
julie, i like that too. i was toying with "we shoulder" meaning now, as i see your words, i meant "we carry".
Beautiful--especially the last line.
I loved this.
we appreciate
we savor and we delight in your words friend.
I love this, Jen we are all of these things.
we live and love and sigh and strive and long and fulfill. we are.
Amen.
And we give. We give our souls, our hearts, our love, our strength.
yes, yes, yes
we dance. we sing. we ache.
this is lovely.
we empathize.
we sigh.
we strive.
wow, I love this. and you.
everything I thought of, I checked and you've got it there already.
we rock.
we pioneer, we falter, we get back on, we start again, we change the world.
wow! I adore this one.
Very true, indeed. All of it!
I truly love the way you write...
Hey, I hope you don't mind if I add you on my blogroll..
Beautiful, Jen.
we are expansive. we are limited. We giggle in a way that is not at all girlish. we realize we know nothing at all and more than we ever have...
Women: I love all of your additions! We Pioneer! We sigh! I've done both in the last hour even.
Mitzh - thank you. i added you to my favorites a couple days ago - love your blog.
I loved this post! Loved it!
Except... "we do laundry." We do? Shoot! Now I have to attack that mountainous pile in order to fit in around here...
:)
Great writing! Sneaking in here for a moment while Comcast is up for a few. :)
Peace,

we dream. we believe.
we love your blog
You are so freakin' awesome. I just copied the whole thing and linked to you.
we connect... just found you via ally or zone family my neighbor and friend great intro to your site.
We move to Belize.
Just sayin'
we delight. we sing. we laugh with our whole heart. we long.
It was really hard to add something to an already perfect post.
we sing. we dance.
(And there I thought I had nothing to add.) What I love the most is the conclusion:
"we write.
this is who we are."
sniff.
So lovely.
And your wonderful commenters have added so much goodness.
i love this. really. fantastic.
We love this post.
Too true.
