Questions of Influence

"I have been living this life so long, yet I am only just
beginning to comprehend how the little streams feed into the big."
At this golden age, for the first time, my bones and bloodstream
actually feel the impact of these words.  I find myself pausing to let
them liquify, sink into and merge with the river inside this body
I tend to take for granted.  

Instead of rushing to move mindlessly to the next habitual task, I let this take hold.  
I consider all the amazing poets and writers whose work has influenced me  
throughout my life and realize what a mighty network of goodness this has been.
How profoundly grateful and humbled I am by their offerings.

I must also add a caveat here about those whose words cause wounds...
the pain and suffering they cause have also been influential.
Their impact causes a more vigorous appreciation and dedication for
those whose work spreads the enrichment of goodness;
 (ie: decency, equality and justice).

Thank you for your presence 
and the goodness you bring to this world.
We are in this together and we matter.
Namaste'
