Crabgrass
It was bell hooks who taught me
how when I shift the margin to the center,
I gain a whole new perspective on life.
It taught me when I shift my perspective,
I redefine,
reimagine, and
deconceptualize the situation.
It’s like crabgrass,
everyone tries to get rid of it,
yet few ever can.
There is always something
that is like crabgrass in our lives.
It seems like no matter how hard you work,
it never quite goes away.
You can be frustrated with its existence,
or come to appreciate it.
It's not the crabgrass I hate,
but the way I think about it
which makes me want to get rid of it.
But why?
Crabgrass doesn’t cause my yard any harm.
It isn’t killing anything,
it just isn’t the prettiest grass
but that depends on how you define pretty.
It's about perspective.
It’s about seeing the blessings in a situation and
the gifts we could not see before
because we were not willing
to change our perspective
about crabgrass
or whatever the crabgrass
is in our lives.
