Welcome home, I'm Dr. Tamer, a minister, licensed psychologist and sacred artist.

And this is Homecoming.

A podcast to facilitate your journey home to yourself.

While I will provide weekly inspiration and mental health tips, this podcast is not the same

as personalized therapy. I'm so excited you're on the journey. If you want to request specific

topics or to submit a poem for me to read on the podcast, email me at homecomingpodcastsatgmail.com.

Welcome home co-journers. I'm glad you're here for another episode and I'm glad we have a poem

submission from Timothy Young and this poem is called I'm Grateful. I'm grateful for the twisting

trees that softly sway in summer's breeze. Some reach up high to breach the sky or hug the ground

like you and I. I'm grateful for the air they bring and how it's used by all to sing

from the first until the last. Each breath will pass by far too fast. I'm grateful for the

sun that shines, sand and hair and strong tan lines. To start each day it rises up so wonder

fills our empty cup. I'm grateful when it warms the ocean as the moon guides all the motion

and when I swim through wave and tide I come alive down deep inside. I'm grateful when I'm back

on land and feel my toes dig in the sand to look and see a house of light that's built to break the

dark of night. I'm grateful for the mountain tops, each snowflake and all raindrops. When I have

climbed up everyone I'll chase the moon and race the sun. I'm grateful for the far stretch fields

and all the food its soil yields the rolling hills the valley deep the cliffs that climb and

prove so steep. I'm grateful when the raindrops run form to flow and fall as one and when the creek

reaches its peak lower ground it starts to seek. I'm grateful for the river too which guides me

home to ocean blue where I can look out to the sea and just feel free to feel like me.
