Fill your arms and your shelves
with passions and points of view,
while they are easier to gather
than to throw away.
Join yourself to the symmetries
of well-arranged flowers
and kindness to others.
Respect the birds in their trees.
Do not scrutinize yourself
for evidence of richer,
wiser or even better,
but reach for the edge of the day.
Carry yourself loosely,
alert for celebrations,
or to the epiphany
of a book, a sonata, or someone.
