                   Every blade of grass has its

         Angel that bends over it

                  and whispers, “Grow, grow!”

Talmud


               


When I lived as a

blade of grass

in a garden washed

by dew dried

by wind printed

by frost nourished

by Mother’s dark soil

my white root grazed

by friendly worms

slender and green

stretching and stretching

I reached up and up

I spent my whole life

growing out of myself

into my

Self.
