Coleman's Bed

Be taught now, among the trees and rocks.
How the discarded is woven into shelter.
Learn the way things hidden and unspoken,
slowly proclaim their voice in the world. 
Find that inward symmetry to all outward appearances.
Apprentice yourself to yourself.
Begin to welcome back all you sent away.
Be a new annunciation. 
Make yourself a door through which to be hospitable, 
even to the stranger in you. 

-- David Whyte
