EPISODE 30: What Else Can You Do Now But Reach For A Berry? (Chio Nakamura's Wild Strawberries)
Some reflections on Chio Nakamura's Wild Strawberries via The Book of Job, Hansel & Gretel, 22 year-old Amy in Madison Wisconsin struggling with Covid-19, Bergman's Seventh Seal, and a brief (but very effective) psychological grounding practice called 3-2-1.
WILD STRAWBERRIES
You’re having a bad day.
Chased by a tiger to the edge of a cliff,
you scramble over and grab hold of a vine.
But now there’s another one prowling below,
and two hungry mice heading for your lifeline.
You take a deep breath,
adjusting to how things are,
and notice some wild strawberries
growing nearby,
dotted with flowers
and tiny red fruit.
What else can you do now but reach for a berry?
What else can you do now?
-Chio Nakamura
