Yes I will take the rest of the pizza
even though I don’t want to eat it,
and I can see you have very
mixed feelings about wanting it, so let’s
not burden you with those feelings,
Give me the pizza
and I will put it in the compost
and it will turn into dirt
for the garden
and it will be perfect
And likewise, let me take those old clothes
the ones that don’t fit and are taking up all that room in your office
yes, let me take those old clothes
I don’t want them
but I will give them to the thrift store
and maybe someone will want them
And similarly, let’s throw out your printer
that doesn’t work
nobody else needs a printer
that doesn’t work
so it will go in the dumpster
with a prayer that
someday, the fungi and the cute
little bacteria will know what to do with it
I think they will figure it out
with enough time
they will figure it out
So I come home and I tear up the
wild onions and the dandelions,
the crabgrass,
and the other plants I don’t
know the names of, but I know they
will spread and spread and
take control of this garden
and this garden is a collaboration
with me
and I want strawberries
so I pull up those other plants,
And I tuck in little strawberry starts
from the co-op
around a curving path
for my daughter
and myself
and our beloveds
And I offer myself to the world
in my dreams I orate on how
everything is simply energy
and some people don’t know
what I mean, in the dream
and I’m so eager for them to catch on
to hold their own magic wands
and it will happen in good time
with enough time
they will figure it out
So I offer myself to you
to you, I say, I will talk with you
and I will hold your hand and I will point at the lights I see
shining in the dreams you share
with me and I will help you
remember the light is there
our excitement will bring the light
closer, till you can feel it
warming your skin
(The offering myself to you is real. I offer myself to you in service via one-on-one sessions that I call Tending Sessions, where we tend to your emotions and/or your designs, with enthusiasm, with openness, with meeting you right where you're at. You can find out more here, and you can book a free feel-it-out session here).
