Today's class focus is on love poems; before the gag reflex kicks in, let me state that this is covering all levels and layers of love. The scent of a new book. A chocolate chip cookie, oven-warm. Watching a cat slumbering in the sunshine.
I am choosing to go with Silverstein today; it's a little kick in the pants to remind me that despite personal stress/angst, it is still important to bring whatever one can to the day's path. And with that mish-mashing of metaphors & philosophy, it is evident that I need coffee and need to go to class.
I have always loved that poem, and I agree: bringing what little you have is still coming with something to give.
