As part of my practice, I read a section of The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen every day. It is the perfect Blue Space/Green Space activity since he is writing a detailed journal of being high in the Himalayas. Today, three paragraphs stood out to me, and I created this found poem:
These days are luminous
No wisp of cloud
Pure heat of our star
Something arises
This ringing
Diamond ice cracks the stone
Sun glints like a weapon
My eyes see straight into the heart of chaos
An echo, pulsing in the star heat
Eternity is not remote
It is here beside us.
