She Who I Am Becoming

by Doris Russell

she who you are becoming is a listener -

i become a listener in my daily life with my family and
co workers.
i become a listener to my thoughts
i become a listener to things forgotten
i become a listener to things that seem like a paradox

i become a listener to the trees, rocks and wind
or a tree, rock or leaf.

i listen to the flowers
i listen to the kids
i listen
i hear what i hear and i hear some things that i don't hear

i wonder a lot too
i wonder about the past and
i wonder about the future

does what i do today effect the past
My prayers of 1-30-07 - are they going to
effect my day of 1-25-07?
What I am doing today does that effect yesterday?
I think it does.
How? I don't know,
but I think it has something to do with relativity.

love me.
