Robert Bly believed gold in a fairytale presaged a happy ending. I believe for poetry too.

Washing Hands

I am a bit OCD about hand washing. Then Covid hit. Ouch. Worse. I’suspect I am not alone. This poem is a nudge nudge wink wink to me and all those as we slowly undo the fear and change the pattern to washing when appropriate.

Washing Dishes

Confession: when I am sad or dealing with intense inner work or big house breakages (no hot water, no water, no internet etc.) washing dishes is the first to go. So this poem is helping me get a new relationship to make it more fun and actually nourishing.

The title says it. The way a particular flower’s thrust from the earth awakens me, connects me to myself, to it, and to spring.
