Footprints in the Windsm # 2003–seedling prayer & bit of food

Footprints in the Windsm # 2003

Plant a tree
under whose shade
three or four generations
may sit enjoy
perhaps refresh

Say a prayer
under whose light
seven or eight generations
may feel invited
softened opened

Feed a stranger
something for stomach
for wondering and wandering
nourish these
ten or eleven generations
invite to leave his or her
seedling prayer & bit of food


Please pass it on.

What flowers us?

If the “colors and shapes of flowers are a precise record of what bees find attractive,” as Frederick Turner writes us, what do humans find attractive? Recall that a shiver and disquiet also propel us. What then? What flowers us?
