balancing act

The dreaming and the doing
soft spirit, hard muscle
Listening to the robin
weeding the garden

Joy in the morning
peace in the evening
Centrifugal, centripetal
a pleasant tension

Hold life loosely
while drinking it all in
And smile often
when no one is looking

We are more than
dust from Eden
We are tenders
of God’s blue garden
