This week we are invited to write a “learning” poem.
Learning
Sitting in the backyard on a gray summer day,
observing the joy of Joey the kangaroo cat,
taking a break from his morning play and prey,
as he looks through the glass fence, enjoying cat t.v.,
while I perform little, not thinking too much,
practicing patience, softening my rough edges,
waiting for the figs to ripen,
waiting for the cactus to flower,
waiting for the birds to sing,
thinking about the difference between
being quiet and finding silence,
remembering to pray when things are
going well.
