enough
i have decided
busy will not be in my economy
of language.
occupied, maybe.
(notice the difference?)
dreams and dendrites of queen anne's lace against the sky
have filled me to satiety, as have fresh eggs, coffee in the same
speckled mug and the river's familiar, carved bank.
more is not needed.
i feel rich enough carrying today's still-warm loaf against
my plaid work shirt
and collecting a tumble of tomatoes, plenty to share.
yes, i am full here upstream from need and free enough of want's snag
where time flows in our favor because it is not already taken
and space lives happily at my kitchen sink
where we will peel stories washed down with wine and
find our status in communion.

excellent confirmation, there. i love the idea of scheduling rest time into each day (nap), week (sabbath), even month (weekend retreat). the richard rohr book i'm reading "immortal diamond" speaks to this too, in terms of where our truest identity comes from.
