Hello to you listening in Glossop, Derbyshire, England!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  

Tuesdays are a respite for me. A chance to contemplate for a moment the beauty of a world that might seem to have turned its back on all things beauty-full. I seek out poetry – some I understand – some I ponder as a wander, as with this poem by Czeslaw Milosz entitled “Love”:  

Love

“Love means to learn to look at yourself

The way one looks at distant things

For you are only one thing among many.

And whoever sees that way heals his heart,

Without knowing it, from various ills—

A bird and a tree say to him: Friend.

Then he wants to use himself and things

So that they stand in the glow of ripeness.

It doesn’t matter whether he knows what he serves:

Who serves best doesn’t always understand.” 

It is no wonder this Nobel Prize-winning poet also wrote these lines:

“Not that I want to be a god or a hero

Just to change into a tree,

Grow for ages, not hurt anyone.” [Czeslaw Milosz] 

Question: Who are you aspiring to be, to change into?

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars?

No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
