Guest Post By Kay Davidson

There is an emptiness in this space

That feels strange, unfamiliar.

The strangeness –

Nothing pushing me forward

Nothing pulling me back

No ” I used to be..” / no former identity

No call to be anything else.

 

I stand ‘here’ – child-like –

In a kind of wonder-land

Taking it in, the freshness of it.

Curious.

What is here?

What is ‘here’ like?

Where is the ground here?

How am I with ‘here’?

What is not here?

 

PS: I wonder if I’ll ever know.

It comes and goes..

This strangeness.

 

 

After A Lifetime of Productivity

I don’t want to squander

a minute of the time

I have left. 

I want to

watch the sun rise and set,

listen to bird song,

pet my dog, 

sip my wine,

laugh with grandkids.

I don’t want habit or worry

to rob me

of these “unproductive” moments.
