a poem for today

When I rise up
let me rise up joyful
like a bird

When I fall
let me fall without regret
like a leaf

–Wendell Berry

  1. i like the leaf part.
    the first time we read it, we somehow skipped the bird line, and the leaf line was then extra impactful in its asymmetry. was cool.

    i like the whole thing actually, this is a lot what we are trying to remember. living in the moment and stuff.
