I create it just to create it.
It uses me
I fall into its’ hands
Knowing the time will come
Knowing it has begun
I extends beyond me
My time, my work, my effort
Grace is made from many pains
My body is in it
Attention is the beginning of devotion.
– Me – Naja
“Teach the children. We don’t matter so much, but the children do. Show them daisies and the pale hepatica. Teach them the taste of sassafras and wintergreen. The lives of the blue sailors, mallow, sunbursts, the moccasin-flowers. And the frisky ones—inkberry, lamb’s quarters, blueberries. And the aromatic ones—rosemary, oregano. Give them peppermint to put in their pockets as they go to school. Give them the fields and the woods and the possibility of the world salvaged from the lords of profit. Stand them in the stream, head them upstream, rejoice as they learn to love this green space they live in, its sticks and leaves and then the silent, beautiful blossoms. Attention is the beginning of devotion.
-Mary Oliver, from “Upstream”
