Reflecting with Poetry

A way to stay with a poem after the last line.

After reading, wait a moment before trying to explain the poem. Which image stayed with you? Which line changed the scene? Write those down. A good response can be a question or a memory rather than an interpretation.

Try reading Saddle Wisdom, then think of an ordinary repair you remember. What did the work teach you that no one said aloud?
