there is a livingness








.



There is more to our world than inanimate matter and human beings, there is a livingness in nature. [The world] can be seen in an entirely new way, perceiving the rocks we pass by without notice each day as alive and aware.

Just now

A rock took fright

When it saw me.

It escaped

By playing dead.

Carefully placed upon the future, 
it tips from the breeze and skims away, 
frail thing of words, this valentine, 
so far to sail. And if you find it 
caught in the reeds, its message blurred, 
the thought that you are holding it 
a moment is enough for me.


This Paper Boat
