I came across this poem while reading O, the Oprah Magazine. I immediately clipped it. Its brevity meant that I could stick it to a 3×5 card and add it to the stack of quotes that sit on my desk at work. It’s still the only poem in that stack.
Like last month’s selection, this poem is one that brings me back to myself. I can spend a lot of time being distracted by what isn’t in my life, and I need reminders to be redirected back to the fact that what is in my life, is lovely.
Kinda sweet.
Very nice. Sit. Feast on your life. I was having a major moop moment earlier this week. One of those "I'm old, don't like my body, think I'm not so happy with my job, what has my life become" sort of days. I needed this poem. What a great one!
