Slow down, work the soil, breathe, soothe your soul

as winter
winds its way here
taking its globally warmed time

we have extra
"time"...
warmish
non rainy days

to make the soil
sweet for the spring

this is a good thing

to breathe
the fresh air

to move our bodies
as we move
the soil

even sweeter
to move our bodies
in any easy rhythm:
rounding and loading the nervous system as it were,
breathing in and ready to move
out into the world

push out
arching our backs,
breathing out,
lengthening,
powering into the soil
with our feet back self
powering out into the world
with shovel, mind, happiness
and
anything else
everything else

not strain
lots of gain

ease
pleasure
nowing


good
