POEM: Lost by David Wagoner

Posted on Sep 2nd, 2009 by Satya-Seer : My happy-gay frolicking shoes Satya-Seer
A friend had shared this in another forum.

Lost
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you,
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.
     -David Wagoner-

What would make your day perfect?

I don't know what would make it perfect, but I do know that I'll be happy in the perfection and imperfection of the day. I almost think this question really is asking, what would "please" me today? And with that, I could list all of the attachments that might please me! Let me just be in this moment with both perfection and imperfection and not stop in time to divide the two or make judgements about which I'd rather have or not have in my experience. Times-a-wastin' with such things.

What makes you feel safe?

Safe from what??? What is this need to feel safe? Safe from harm, from death . . .? I feel vulnerable most of the time. I'm secure in my understanding that nothing is lost. Remember, the property changes.

How do you say no?

Listen carefully - NO! Just like that. Say what you mean and mean what you say, even if it is NO! Stick to it.
