Rosary
A golden string
many years
long
a golden string
many
decades long
hopefully -
red pearls,
small and big ones, dark and light red, so many shades –
MY LIFE!
I live
along the string
like a
blind woman with an inner eye
reading and
writing with my inner eye
guided.
Each pearl
has a meaning
My friend
Andrea (1983)
The book by
Suzuki Roshi
I found in
a bookstore in Carytown in 1994
My
colleagues boyfriend
who told me
about Waldorfschools for the first time (2001).
Each pearl
has changed my life
or should I
say
shaped it.
It became
what it was supposed to be
from the
beginning.
MAGIC!
The first
book by Natalie Goldberg
also at the
bookstore in Carytown
also Richmond , also 1994.
A magical
time was that!
The
bookstore is a big pearl,
My children
– the biggest pearls.
There are
so many more.
My way of
magical thinking is
to know
deep down
that the
string with all those pearls
has been
there before I have.
I have to
find the way from pearl to pearl,
a blind
woman
with her
books,
a blind
woman
with her
notebooks.
It is not
always so obvious
stretched
out before me.
There have
been foggy years,
even
decades of feeling utterly lost.
My life
a magical
blind walk along those pearls
lined on a
golden string, guiding me.
The last
one will be very close to the first one.
Touching it
I will know.
