A river of words to describe the actual river...
isn't it a marvel?
"Soon even that will sink and the water will be clear again.
I, too, have felt the gift of slowing, how it invites a sedimentation
of all I try to carry--the silt of my stories, the muck of the world."
With the quantity of muck in this world,
I feel how vital the gift of slowing
is for shifting the molecules of frenzy
into a quiet trust and vigorous hope.
". . .the more calm I am,
the more clear I can become."
This is the way we remain
fiercely sane, unwaveringly civil
and decent.
