REACH


Life,
at best,

is an arc/k,
an arch,

a tip,
a lick,

a peak,
a point,
a pressure,
a prick –

whatever it takes
to make you
want
to lean into it

…and push

How sweet the double meanings and precision of this poem, and meaningful its message. Whatever it takes to get us to lean in to life, and experience it fully, we have a creator who presses us into it lest we fail to meet our potential...........Jerry

Kate, One could think you were strictly talking about the wild thing, but I think not, there is much more going on here. You always say so much with so little. We all need to "push" to make our lives more livable and unique. No one person can ever understand anyone's need to push to the limits of their world. To live a full life with love and peace and happiness. I guess I am a silly romantic and an optimistic soul. So now a thought goes towards "what is more important in life than making love?". So my dear, lean and push and have a wild orgasmic ride of your life. Much love, light, and peace to you and yours,
Amber "V"

Life can be a contradiction...but it needs to be LIVED! And many times, I think WE make it much more complicated than it really is! Anyway, that's my take! Loved this, Kate!

Yes! Life is malleable; it is inspiring; it is nagging; it is burgeoning if we will but only involve ourselves in it - mold it, flow with it, meet it, answer it with every last drop of self. Life, at best, is LIVED! We have to listen to that part of ourselves that seeks to guide by providing inspiration - the "lean." Then, we have to take inspired action to see where it leads - the "push", the stretch, the Reach! It is in the reach that life fulfills its own nature - expansion.

Shoulder to the wheel, Kate, and get on with it...if we can. You tease through brevity, tease the mind to go beyond the sharp, quick, short words, you prod and make me push a little bit harder. Thank you for this.
