Red brocade2/13/2023 I had read other poems by Naomi Shihab Nyi which had touched me – as did an article she wrote about growing up in Ferguson and Palestine, posing important questions. But this one in particular landed deeply in me, and touched on a yearning for a life where it would be possible to spend three days before asking any questions – for refusing ‘to be claimed’ by so called important busyness…īut even if my daily life is quite a bit more busy than this, my meditation unfolded into an attentiveness to the needs of the people who showed up in that practice, and a soft readiness to serve. I was introduced to this poem last week by Ratnadevi, my dear friend and colleague in mindfulness, who read it out at the start of a loving kindness meditation.
