pure wisdom of someone who knows nothing
Nov 10
“ Change your live-here tick-tock hours…” -William Stafford, In the All-Verbs Navaho World Wake up with the look-at-me sun,
skip-walk down the go-anywhere path.
Feel the tickle-tickle breeze,
praise-listen to the bring-glee birds.
Pause-breathe when your move-everywhere legs
grow happy-weary-ready for fold-sit-rest.
Inhale the cleanse-change air,
swallow-spread stillness through your heart-cradle chest.
Surrender-squeeze your look-notice eyes,
open-ready your listen-hear ears.
Experience the tiptoe-tiny mice
whisper-dance through point-sway grass.
Open your cup-hand vessels to drip-drop rain,
slurp-swallow the grow-life nectar.
Let it deep-flow-rush into your twinkle-cells,
feel it rainbow-grow through your give-blossom center.
Thank-smile at this bliss-bless moment,
cry-give sing-joy from your word-shaper song-breather lips.

Thanks, Ann! Thanks for being one of the “midwives” helping me birth so many words. Thanks for WWf(a)C and ALL the words you inspire!!
I have never heard a moment described so eloquently. Really beautiful. And wisdom with humility…..does it get any more pure than that? To me, that just might be the definition of wisdom:) Thank you for sharing! Keep it up!!
so true…the humility that is necessary for wisdom to be pure…such a wonderful thing to strive toward
You have been so blessed with the wonderful gift of uplifting others through your writing. I’m very proud of you!!!
Vintage Emily-Simply Amazing. Enough said.
Thank heavens for all the “Brendas” in this hurry-up world.
We all need to slow down and enjoy what life has to offer, especially this time of year!
