UEL - Poetry Read Moving Forward Name:_______________

Date: June 8, 2020

Wisdom

What you grasp

let go

only those seeds that fall

grow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems only fitting that this week I would be preoccupied by thoughts of those long

departed from my life, but never far away in spirit. Those amazing humans that touch your

life, and share their wisdom, as you listen for answers to life’s questions.

We remember them directly through story and indirectly through sensory memory. Those

who you sought for their courage and wisdom. Their courage and wisdom now lies in you.

We can nurture a new way of life in the warming sunbeams of summer. We have an

opportunity to find new ways forward, and discover that learning happens in gardens,

pathways, and summer walks. We can listen for our source of wisdom to guide us on our

path into this new way of being in the world.

We can rediscover the timeless ingredients of human becoming that are seeded in

moments of joy, curiosity, imagination, and reflection.

In letting go of our grasp, we can find new ways forward.

Be well. Until next time, Ms. Jan.
