the wherefore and why of poetry

Funny thing--I'm super busy today, scrambling to get work done...and I run across this quote by Jung (see right sidebar). So perfect.
I need to work quickly and well, but without hurrying. Without giving in to that frantic mindset.
And so I read this little tree poem to myself, the one posted below. Slowly, and out loud.
Ahhh.

Back to work, but not back to the mental hamster wheel. It's been torn apart by the image of sun-dappled branches and cool, dim, green spaces.
