As the old Zen saying goes:

“Before Enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.

After Enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.”

And so it is, another last week of another mad year.

May your days, despite the obvious, bring kindness.

@ilya_poet So lovely. Thank you, Ilya.

Dear @Toscano200, thank you for giving me an excuse to sit on a concrete stoop in New Orleans and write this poem as the kids wandered through souvenir stores. Dear @CopihuePoetry, thank you for giving it a home. 🖤

@slowdownshow @Poet_Major Thanks so much Major Jackson for featuring “To the Buyer of Our Old Home” in today’s Slowdown, and always for your poignant reflections!

[The Slowdown @slowdownshow]

“Today’s wise poem unearths the idiosyncrasies of an old home and in doing so, reveals how its past and future inhabitants are woven together in time,” shares @Poet_Major.

Today’s poem is “To The Buyer of Our Old Home” by @HelenPWallace https://t.co/0J6tCCm25I

[Helen Pruitt Wallace @HelenPWallace]

Love this.
