— Mary Oliver, You are standing at the edge of the woods
— Mary Oliver, Two Kinds of Deliverance
Mary Oliver was right. It IS a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world
your honour, i do not have to be good. i do not have to walk on my knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. i only have to let the soft animal of my body love what it loves.
