Leave the tear upon your cheek awhile
It is your baptism, a washing clean
Or salt to nourish our community

Please pass it on.

Idleness, and the fact that we do not seem to work concentratedly for spurts longer than about 4 hours, seem to point to a natural energy level (physical-mental combined), a capacity. And to the brother-notions that idleness is necessary to human completeness and that enjoying and participating in the world is something essential for us as human.

Mary Oliver writes, “I love this world/but not for its answers.” If not answers, then hints, pointing, directions: perhaps this world has beauty and in that truth and those within goodness.

We go fast
Only to go fast
When we get “there”
Yet are we doing good for
Our children’s children?
