How a sudden shift in perspective can stop us: "Choices" by #TessGallagher poet, short story writer, essayist (also married to Raymond Carver). Day 21 of #NationalPoetryMonth. #poetry
CHOICES I go to the mountain side of the house to cut saplings, and clear a view to snow on the mountain. But when I look up, saw in hand, I see a nest clutched in the uppermost branches. I don't cut that one. I don't cut the others either. Suddenly, in every tree, an unseen nest where a mountain would be. for Drago Štambuk

“Put a tight seal
on the heart, that leaky bucket.

The heart saved against speaking.”

A gentle reminder that life is less about arrival or departure, and more about the grace in between.

This morning, I read the necessary poem for these days: From #TessGallagher poem I WANT TO BE LOVED LIKE SOMEONE'S BELOVED DOG IN AMERICA

Oh America, allow me one day
of your righteous disdain
of poverty; I have a longing, a passion
to belong to something heedless and full
of mock conscience.
