Heart-Centered Thinking: A colleague introduced me to a wonderful line from a William Carlos Williams poem. It reads: “It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.” In this spirit, I give my latest poem entitled “Who Weeps.” It is about the condition of our world’s rivers. You won’t read of much of rivers’ plight in the newspaper, but you may get a sense of the seriousness of their condition from my poem.
