Stay where your feet are
she said
beginning to flip through all
the calendar days and weeks to next year
already out of breath,
no concern for breakfast,
no knowledge
of who or what
holds her fragile future
only knowing
she must Be Prepared
even for amazing joys or crushing blows
and then she remembers
she hasn’t put on her shoes yet.
“Nature never rushes, yet everything gets done.”
~ Donald L. Hicks, Look into the Stillness
