As soon as I could drag my unruly crew to literary attention we dived into David Whyte's
Everything is Waiting for You
and wrote for 7 minutes on the question
"What is your life conversation?"... right now.
Sandra Birnie nailed it - here is her piece:
Life Conversation
by Sandra Birnie
Take a look around and touch the
timber, cloth and textured wool of it.
Your space has weft and warp
shade and stripe.
Notice the piercing sun slice centre stage on carpet.
There is drama here.
Blinds angling to be drawn.
Windows where spider nests are safe at least until the spring.
Ticking, whirring clock and laptop motor overture your day that mounts to
full crescendo of crashing and boiling cleaning machines.
Breathe.
Sit.
Take it in.
There’s a lot going on.
