Hello friends,
We will not be selling at the market on Saturday, July 9. The Art Fair on the square will take place that day, and we always skip that market, so we will be on vacation that week. We will be at the market this week, on July 2.
July 2 yes!
July 9 no!
I hope you're all having the best summer ever, falling in love with old friends and making new ones, blessed with unexpected gifts and the kindness of strangers. Here's our poem of the week:
Cucumbers and Prayers
all day long
the earth shouts
“ Gee, Thanks ! ”
such an exuberant gee,
it starts throwing
things
as if God were passing by in a parade encouraging
rowdy behavior
by looking so beautiful –
that a whole avalanche of mania swoops in !
I like this idea of throwing things at God,
and especially – his making us rowdy !
thus, as soon as Hafiz is out of bed
I start stuffing large sacks
with old shoes, cucumbers,
and
prayers
for the upcoming
consecrated
free – for – all –
and who knows
what else.
Hafiz
