Weaving Reality VI: On the Thickness of Skin
Some of you may have observed that I have been sharing my WeaveMothers series elsewhere…or maybe it’s better to say I have been presenting it and most people have been ignoring it. The offerings are here:
Weaving Reality
Picking up the rhythm
Nebulous answers to cogent questions
Looking back at the present
Diversity
This is the sixth episode, originally published as part of Cafe Discovery:
The Storyteller took a deep breath and cast back for another memory, another story to tell. The Listener was patient, but did require the occasional feeding. The Storyteller chuckled at the observation. The Engineer glanced backward and nodded. And the Train switched to another happentrack.
The Storyteller began to sing. The Listener leaned forward. The passenger turned over, but otherwise remained sleeping.
One day Sun found a new canyon.
It hid for miles and ran far away,
then it went under a mountain. Now Sun
goes over but knows it is there. And that
is why sun shines–it is always looking.
Be like the sun.
–William Stafford
