Basket

Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that.

~ Mary Oliver

I suppose the kinds of baskets we put our lives into are probably connected to the kinds of lives we live. Some people put their lives in laundry baskets, others in picnic baskets, still other in basketball baskets.

I guess Jesus probably put his in an Easter basket.
