pulling a splinter out of
jude’s foot this morning
he is in agony
i am in agony
i know i have to continue
he is begging me to stop
i know in order to get it out
he will scream louder
he will be in more pain
and it will require even more
determination
on my part
to be successful
in these agonizing moments
i got a tiny glimpse
into the heart of Mother Earth
she is agonizing too
agonizing over
all the suffering
her children are enduring
agonizing over
all the suffering
she is enduring
yet resolved to
dig deeper
to reach
a place
where
healing
can
begin
i loved that metaphor, and i, too agonize over the pain mother earth experiences, over the pain *I* cause her when my excess becomes her excess simply because i decide i don't want the excess anymore.
