I was not familiar at all with the poet or the poem. Thank you for sharing it with us, Clara. Very much worth re-reading and meditating on ...

"What shape waits in the seed of you

Beautiful poem! It's so important to spend a little quiet time upon waking, to bring where you came from into your day, before the busy mind kicks in. Thank you, Clara!
