The fruit of the Spirit

 

Slowly we start to learn
that we are sustained,
not by the things we produce,
but by the engagement
of our hands, the grasp
of our minds, the tenacity
with which we hold on
to the flowing life source -
the attention we pour in,
giving ourselves to the curiosity,
the work, the play, the follow through
that brings these things to light.
