Margins
by Katie Mulder
 
It seems an act of bravery 
not to fill life to the brim
We hear: 
“do it all”
“you’ll fall behind”
“keep those margins slim”
 
But life lives in the margins
Those spaces in between
The highs and lows will come and go
But in the quiet we are seen
 
In the margins we find wholeness
We find healing, we find rest
In saying “no” to what is good
We free ourselves for best
 
I will seek those open spaces -
room to be or even bore
I’d rather be content with less
than always strive for more
