at the risk of being repetitive, i give you another kinsolving poem today...inspired, once again, by the multitude of birds in this virtual aviary [also apiary!] around me--
Trust
BY SUSAN KINSOLVING
Trust that there is a tiger, muscular
Tasmanian, and sly, which has never been
seen and never will be seen by any human
eye. Trust that thirty thousand sword-
fish will never near a ship, that far
from cameras or cars elephant herds live
long elephant lives. Believe that bees
by the billions find unidentified flowers
on unmapped marshes and mountains. Safe
in caves of contentment, bears sleep.
Through vast canyons, horses run while slowly
snakes stretch beyond their skins in the sun.
I must trust all this to be true, though
the few birds at my feeder watch the window
with small flutters of fear, so like my own.
such a great reminder here...take a deep breath...know that you are not alone..and know that the world will be just as it should be...let go of the fear.
