Gifts In The Shade Of Mushrooms, May 2021

Without the pressure

to produce

or the drive to just acquire

We can embrace

our curiosity

of what is kindling

to our fire

What is it that burns within

That we are meant

to share

How can a shift

in our priorities

Not mean

We do not care

But that we yearn for new growth

Not just peonies

or roses

But what gifts lie

in the shade of mushrooms

What is opened

when something closes

Focus

in a new direction

Emerging from Big rest

Finding meaning

in this blooming

of new love

and value sets
