These changes are given to us so that we pay attention
to what is really important, ask questions,
and live restlessly enough to grow into something
earthy and divine.
When her smock arrives in the old fields, shuttling
back and forth in the breeze, I know to
reflect on gratitude:
Have I been inhabiting it well enough?
Summer days are numbered.
I’ve never been able to answer, yes,
but that’s okay. Gratitude is a timeless thing.
You can cast it backwards or forwards and
live into it in any given moment.
And, so, I’m thankful to be in the good
company of white flowers that rise
above the grass,
weaving the fabric of the
human soul.
