Passage 1 Messages Sometimes, I wonder if I am alive, I feel so little. Here are some of the ways I ignore the messages my body is sending me: Consulting a clock to see if I’ve had enough sleep Trying to recall how much I have eaten in order to know how hungry I am Putting on glasses when my eyes hurt, instead of resting them Using aspirin and antacids Breathing through my mouth, which has no sense of smell Putting thick-soled shoes between me and the ground Passage 2 Everything Spring She scooped up life like spring flowers, Feeling the earth with her bare feet. She breathed in the fragrance and described her experience With a merry twinkle. Sometimes a musical laugh. Nothing escaped her notice, She felt everything. 4
