what to do

one week into a new year i find myself waiting for direction for this year’s blogging, savoring lucille clifton’s message from the ones over rooibus tea

some of you have been blessed
or cursed
to see beyond yourselves

into the scattered wrongful dead
into the disappeared
the despised

none of you has seen
everything
none of you has said
everything

what you have not noticed
we have noticed
what you have ignored
we have not

As a teacher of writing for more than 30 years, I have continued to hope and believe that overhearing the thoughts inside one’s head may help someone else. Now I take my own medicine. As a practitioner of the writing cure, I am willing to believe it will work in my case as well.
