Mrs. Nelson explained how to stand still and listen

to the wind, how to find meaning in pumping gas,

how peeling potatoes can be a form of prayer. She took

questions on how not to feel lost in the dark.

After lunch she distributed worksheets

that covered ways to remember your grandfather's

voice. Then the class discussed falling asleep

without feeling you had forgotten to do something else -

something important -and how to believe

the house you wake in is your home. This prompted

for whatever it was you lost, and one person.

-What You Missed That Day You Were Absent from Fourth Grade, by Brad Aaron Modlin, from "Poetry of Presence II; More Mindfulness Poems", edited by Phyllis Cole-Dai & Ruby R. Wilson.
