By Since I wrote a post about Joy Harjo’s book Crazy Brave: A Memoir–which I loved, I thought I’d share a bit of her poetry. It came to me in an e-mail from Kirkridge Retreat Center, a beautiful retreat and study center in the Pennsylvania Poconos. What a lovely Thanksgiving poem. Fall is soon officially here.
Praise crazy. Praise sad.
Praise the path on which we’re led.
Praise the roads on earth and water.
Praise the eater and the eaten.
Praise beginnings; praise the end.
Praise the song and praise the singer.
Praise the rain.
– excerpt from “Praise the Rain” by Joy Harjo

Reminds me of the Beyonce lyric, What’s worst, lookin’ jealous or crazy? Jealous or crazy? / Or like being walked all over lately, walked all over lately / I’d rather be crazy
