Bernard's poem

My friend Bernard Thornton writes poems - the ones I see are often related to conversations we have - he picks up something and takes it somewhere special. His latest came through a couple of weeks ago and he wasn't unhappy about it appearing in the blog...

Disciple

For our New Year’s resolution
let us agree
to find new ways
of letting things
enter us

shoals
simply having the faith
to put out our nets
without question
without anxiety concerning outcomes

let us be ready
standing quietly
patiently
at the edge of things
listening looking

Bernard Thornton
