# Salina, Kansas
**by Ken Waldman**

Some days you think you've found				
a center here, the middle of everything			
loving and true, especially if you look up		
into the sky, wondering what					
next. Such an honest place,				
a land like no other if only you			

keep working, keep weeding, keep					
an eye on the weather. What				
next? Reseeding? A second planting? 	 
Spinach and kale? Keep your heart open,	
an ear to the ground. Listen. If you		
sense your own self growing, rejoice.
