Accepting



Extending from rigid
willow branches,
flexible yellow braids
bend in the breeze,
curve in the current;
yielding, yet resilient. 

Supple as slow thought.
Accepting what is  given.
Anticipating what is to come:


from the wind in the willows,
from the rapids in the river,
from the surprises in life.

      Thank you Sarah. I am "accepting what is given, and anticipating what is to come."
