“A person sees in the world what they carry in their heart.” (adapted) Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Contemplative Action
The thought before the step,
seeing with the heart
while resting the mind,
standing, walking, sitting
with feelings that arise,
resisting pathologies,
those old avenues so familiar
that flow like winter rivers,
to burst that bubble and
dispel that echo,
to know the tender deep
intangible organic love
that awaits a birthing
as gift to the world,
in step.

“that flow like winter rivers” – love this metaphor. The difference between reaction and response – you write it well.
