Traveling with NORDTING

I found a bean in Ottawa
a small white body
from the north
bean bønn prayer

A seed is a prayer
buried in the darkness
A prayer is a seed
sent into the unknown

I hold one in my hand
A small planet
A body
A beginning

I whisper
Not for an answer
only to be heard
by the earth
