Happiness (Paisley Rekdal)

Happiness by Paisley Rekdal

I stumbled upon today's poem, through an impossible to trace collection of clicks, but I am so glad I did. I like its calmness, its steady eye. Sadness is a thing; beauty is a thing; gardens are a thing. All are worthy. Be proud of what your craft does. Find happiness in the doing. Find happiness which stems from unhappiness.

Favorite line:  "I can wait longer than sadness. I can wait longer / than your grief."
