Meet Feet takes a walk in the filed at Greenbank and friend, Erika Sanders, sends a poem to share:  10:44 AM - link - [Leave a Comment]

FIELD WALKER She knows every inch, from west to east, north to south. Even as the seasons experiment with the colors of the grasses, even as the crops rotate from one corner to another, from one year to the next, and even as the weeds try to distract and disorient her, she can close her eyes and survey every inch of these fields -- her fields. If you want her, you will find her -- There. Standing between her rows of food, often a hand resting on the shovel handle. On the long days, her chin resting on her hand resting on the shovel. You’ll find it difficult to disturb one so focused. Her lips barely moving as she talks to the land she knows she is blessed and naive to call her own. But, her lips do move. While you wait, imagine. What it will be like to be of the time when we will all be grateful for those who’ve been called to be our field walkers. Erika Sanders July 2005  10:38 AM - link - [Leave a Comment]
