🌸 Yutori : living in a poem.

 Naomi Shihab Nye: “You are living in a poem.” 

Students : “What do you mean, we’re living in a poem?” Or, “When? All the time, or just when someone talks about poetry?” 

 Naomi Shihab Nye: “No, when you think, when you’re in a very quiet place, when you’re remembering, when you’re savoring an image, when you’re allowing your mind calmly to leap from one thought to another, that’s a poem. That’s what a poem does.”

Students : “Well, here in Japan, we have a concept called yutori.”
