Live Wonder

Tenneson Woolf, Most Mornings, Live Wonder

“Live Wonder” is one of my favorite poems from Most Mornings.

I think of it as a road map for living with more consciousness. It is six verbs, one per stanza. It is also six contexts to shape meaningful action. At one level it is an assertion of key guiding values. At another level it is today’s list of todo and areas of focus.

Most of my poetry is written in response to a question. The question through much of Most Mornings is how to live with more purpose as a human being. In the day to day, morning to morning. And in the longer arc of life timeline.

Perhaps there is insight for you too.

Live Wonder

Be
with what is.

Know
what brings
you alive.

From that, offer
contribution.

Give voice
to purpose.

Invite
possibility
and heart.

Live
wonder.
