READING.

Settle.

Feel the weight of your body and the quiet in your heart.
Notice the word or phrase that calls your attention
or is most interesting to you in some way…

Banish Expectations: There is no wrong way or wrong choice.

Text holds the possibility of revealing you to yourself by what it stirs.

This is a Creative Process. It is playful and disobedient.

“The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me. Stand still in the soul, and you will see the mystery that moves all things. Let go of striving; the harvest comes in its own time.” 

Meister Eckhart       
                                                                            

Meadowlands (1996)

Louise Glück

Excerpt option A

The days shorten, and the light wanes.
There is a hush over the fields,
a soft, gathering pause.
I walk among the hedges,
noting the colors turning — grey-blue, umber ochre.
Something waits at the threshold of winter.

Excerpt option B

The leaves drop one by one, quietly —
each a small surrender of what was bright.
Under the sky’s cold sweep I stand,
holding what remains in my hands:
dusk, the color of old brine,
the last flame of autumn’s hearth slow to go.
