Sitting in the Zendo at Tassajara
Sitting in the Zendo
By Barbara Huntington
Thinking about a poem
Acknowledge that
Let it go
But it may never come again
Acknowledge that
Let it go
Can I tuck it away in a corner?
Empty mind except one corner?
Acknowledge that
Let it go
It’s about…Damn I lost it.
Acknowledge that
Let it go.

The Poetry and Prose of Barbara Huntington 
This is part of a compilation of poems called Pens Up! from the Words under the Words workshop with Naomi Shihab Nye at Tassajara in the summer of 2013.
The concept of acknowledging and letting things go resonates deeply with me.
