Weeding and Writing
by Glenn CurrierThere is a war I fight each day
between doing the garden weeding
and conjuring thoughts and writing to convey,
between praying-thinking and speaking-leaping.
Meditation is my resting
in peace and tranquility.
Chores are my wrestling
with just being and doing things of utility.
I hear I should not be a human doing
but instead be a human being
but how do I balance my wooing
with silence and dreaming?
Being a lover means moving and touching
deciding to extend myself for another
but it also means hushing
listening and abiding in wonder.

but instead be a human being" - my favorite lines in this poem, Glenn. I liked the contrast but similarity between "resting" and "wrestling" in S2. I really like the idea of "abiding in wonder." Thanks! |
