John Ciardi quote ✍️

Quote

And the time sundials tell May be minutes and hours. But it may just as well Be seconds and sparkles, or seasons and flowers. No, I don't think of time as just minutes and hours. Time can be heartbeats, or bird songs, or miles, Or waves on a beach, or ants in their files(They do move like seconds — just watch their feet go: Tick-tick-tick, like a clock). You'll learn as you grow That whatever there is in a garden, the sun Counts up on its dial. By the time it is done Our sundial — or someone's — will certainly add All the good things there are. Yes, and all of the bad. And if anyone's here for the finish, the sun Will have told him — by sundial — how well we have done. How well we have done, or how badly. Alas, That is a long thought. Let me hope we all pass.
