Today’s calling
Here’s what’s important today:
Gunpowder green tea, brewed very strong, drunk plain
Pigeon pose, both upright and in a forward fold, in yoga class
Meditation
The taste and nourishment of dried apricots, Greek yogurt (the Fage brand, with its very thick creaminess, that I buy at Trader Joes’), tamari-roasted almonds, an avocado, olive oil, and lettuce
Letting a prose poem, composed of shorter prose poems, take shape in its own fashion, with no push from me, so that whatever results, whether written today or in a week, startles this author with its beauty
A phone conversation with my friend Shelley in Urbana, Illinois
Going to my friend Kat’s performance, a house concert
Picking up Kat’s nearly 100-year-old neighbor, to take her to the performance, along with my friend Frances
Nothing pressing. Life calling, and I wouldn’t name any of that life today a job or a lesson or a gesture of good will. Rather, I feel called to be with everyday intimacies that feel at once necessary and desired.
