Landscape with Sage and the Names of My Children
I put the earth/ all its charms/ within me/ into each waiting pocket lip and ear.
Keetje Kuipers
Paying attention looks like this. Paying attention looks like putting the earth and all its charms within me into each waiting pocket lip and ear. That feels right. Paying attention begins with the earth and ends with pockets, lips, and ears. Let me explain. We pay attention and we carry it all with us. We take it all in and we carry it with us. We share because the earth’s charms are meant to be experienced together. We create because earth’s charms are meant to be multiplied. We begin and end because the earth’s charms are impermanent. Paying attention looks like prayer when we think about it like this.
