Walk around feeling like a leaf. Know you could tumble any second. Then decide what to do with your time. — Naomi Shihab Nye

Inspiration of the Day:
Renowned poet Naomi Shihab Nye writes about button-hooks, onions and her grandmother’s tea. Her poems speak of ordinary things — things we take for granted until it’s almost too late. For her poetry is a “conversation with the world, conversation with those words on the page, allowing them to speak back to you — conversation with yourself.” The daughter of a Palestinian father and an American mother, she’s lived in old Jerusalem, in St. Louis, and now with her own family in San Antonio, Texas. Bill Moyers carries a poem of hers in his wallet, and interviews her here. http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4622
