poem of one world
this morning
the beautiful white heron
was floating along above the water
and then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong to
where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else
which thought made me feel
for a little while
quite beautiful myself
-mary oliver/
a thousand mornings
my wonderful writing teacher says you need to read
poetry out loud to really hear it, understand it, feel it
this one is worth your voice
for the last 2 weeks my family and i have been
traveling the terrain of our immunity;
pot holes,
mud slides, hard times with the flu
sore throats,
head colds, fevers, a killer cough
wow
i know it's the farthest thing from
beautiful
to feel our bodies ache, heat up and
try to process this world
then i read this poem and i thought
we all do this
we all get down
& we fight this flu
these colds
we all have to stop
we all have to allow
our bodies to get well
there is a one world beauty in that to me
so here is my one world soup
