Weeding
After I returned from York I had a look in the garden and thought that I had better do some weeding. I did a bit but need to do more. I like weeding as it gives me time to think and meditate.
For those who don't, this poem may be helpful - change your mind about the weeds! I saw it in a leaflet in London in April. The leaflet was "Poems on the Underground -celebrating Irish Poetry."
"Not Weeding" by Paula Meehan
"Nettle,bramble, shepherd's purse-
refugees from the building site
that was once the back field,
my former sworn enemies
these emissaries of the wild
now cherished guests."
