There is no end of original ways to look at things. We have an unexpected perspective from poet Laura Barkat today. Thank you for giving permission to share your poem here!
Woman
by L.L. Barkat
I am
so difficult—
the way a jar of honey
is difficult.
All that sweetness
gets stuck under the rim,
makes your hands shake
they have to work
so
hard.

When we've lost sight of the big picture, how can we help ourselves put things back in perspective?
Poetry can lend a hand.
