Dear Carolyn, That is such a WONDERFUL poem – one of my favorites 🙂 So glad you posted it at a time when I am retiring and especially need to reconnect with just BEing!

Thanks, Carolyn… So many memories that nourish to this day. Do keep your “mischievousness” always.
Fondly,
Kathryn

A truly WONDERFUL poem and the these of BEing is so apt for me as I start my retirement after working for 50 years (only part-time as a teenager).

The word “these” should be corrected to “theme”

I love this convent poem! As I begin the phase of my life known as “retirement,” the poem reminds me of the essential importance of just BEing.”
