This is a poem by D.

H.

Lawrence,

To Take Into Your Day.

As we live,

We are transmitters of life.

And when we fail to transmit life,

Life fails to flow through us.

But if,

As we work,

We can transmit life into our work,

Life,

Still more life,

Rushes into us to compensate,

To be ready,

And we ripple with life through the days.

Even if it is a woman making an apple dumpling,

Or a man a stool,

If life goes into the pudding,

Good is the pudding,

Good is the stool,

Content is the woman,

With fresh life rippling into her,

Content is the man.

Give and it shall be given unto you is still the truth about life.

But giving life is not so easy.

It doesn't mean handing it out to some mean fool.

It means kindling the life quality where it was not,

Even if it's only in the whiteness of a washed pocket handkerchief.
