#ARichLife Day 4: #Twilight
My fave lines:
When someone you haven‘t seen in ten years
appears at the door,
don‘t start singing him all your new songs.
You will never catch up.

Eggs Great poem👏🏻🙌🏻 1w

#ANewChapter Day 20: I enjoyed this book greatly, and I would often sneak in a few moments to read it during the day, no matter how busy I am as a form of #Reflection. It is not only a collection of poems, it also contains a few short ‘essays‘ or ‘prose‘ that really served more like parables to me – with their pockets of wisdom, nuggets of truth, and varying shades of silence and grief and deliverance.

BarbaraJean Oh, I love Naomi Shihab Nye—so much! Are you familiar with Krista Tippett‘s On Being podcast at all? Her interview with Shihab Nye is wonderful. 7y

xicanti It took me a moment to realize items 2 through 10 were book titles and not the further possibilities you want to be when you grow up. 8y
MatchlessMarie @xicanti in that case, life really would be like a musical! 🤣 8y
