This week on the podcast, guest host Pam Blair is reading "Between" from Groshonda McDonald’s book In The Process and reflecting on what it might be saying about our life together in South Bend.

BETWEEN

Tossed back and forth between
Little girl blossom and a grown woman’s bloom.

Between little girl longings and a grown woman’s knowings.
Between little girl perceptions and a grown woman‘s understandings.
Between little girl dreams and a grown woman‘s reality.
Between little girl yesterdays and a grown woman‘s today’s.
Between little girl forgiveness and a grown woman‘s grudges.
Between little girl memories and a grown woman‘s forgiveness.

Tossed back and forth between little girl blossom and a grown woman’s bloom.
