There are different kinds of thinking.
Mary Oliver captures one particular kind in her poem ‘Drifting’:
“It’s wonderful to walk along like that,
thought not the usual intention to reach an answer
but merely drifting.
Like clouds that only seem weightless
but of course are not…”
We could not live without the clouds that drift through our skies.
And we need different types of thinking other than logical reason – ‘drifting’ thoughts can be just as valuable and “really important”as Mary Oliver goes on to say.
I wrote this poem after being inspired by the sky and the clouds – they also seemed to speak to me.
Sky speaks to me
wind whispers her breezes
.
Clouds move inside my mind
and all this seems good:
.
I have seen the invisible
qualities of God
.
And I
have understood.
