pruning
".to
the soul, the most minute details and the most ordinary activities,
carried out with mindfulness and art,have an effect far beyond their apparent insignificance.”
~Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life
her sharp attendance
to the details of thinning bark
glistening scented wood
the snap crunch
of dead heading the tree-
how each branch fell
in a muffled stage whisper
on a sodden september lawn
how even a yawn could not
stop her from staying
with the task at hand- her
heart demanding another
chance to remove what serves
no one; revealing a clear view
of huge sky-sighing, cobalt blue
and how divinely feminine
the ordinary moment catches fire
while the present tense of she
and tree- in silent symbiosis,
gently does conspire
