What Would I Do?

 

If I had my way,

what would I do?

In this unaccustomed medium

of off-again, on-again thought,

I focus not on the message

(whatever that might have been)

but on the method.

 

Do I change hands here? Is this the time?

No, wait.

Bring some thought to this!

Stay with the pencil so it will carry you off

to find the answer.

 

The question, again?

 

Here: if I had my way, what would I do?

 

Would I take your hand

in both of mine and say nothing,

do nothing but be with you?

Hands sandwiched just so.

Words set aside.

Experiencing the glow of us.

 

Take it bigger—outside, so to speak.

Now what would I do?

Can it get any bigger than a sandwich of hands?

 

Oh. Good question.

If we all sandwiched hands every day,

the world would change.

Someone, a friend told me, recommends a full hug—

a one- or two- or three-minute hug daily.

For everyone. Hug. Breathe. Keep hugging.

 

Goodness gracious me!

Goodness.

Grace.

Good grace and blessings to us all.

Every huggable one of us.
