Holy god(s) but this is wonderful. I've had a very hard two weeks, I am exhausted, physically and emotionally, and I read this: I feel alive and energized. Tomorrow I'm going to teach a 3 hour poetry seminar to a group of students I know absolutely nothing about: what a great poem to begin the seminar. What a great poem to spend a Sunday afternoon with. This is just wonderful.

Wow! I've loved Robert Hass's "Meditation . . . " for years, and now I love yours . . . Thanks!
Great work! I feel it!
