"It is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in this broken world."
~Mary Oliver
Ran across these words
this early morn . . . just
what I needed. Oliver is
ever and always the voice
of reason when I need it
most.
Methinks the combination
of Daylight Savings, 8" of
snow in Autumn, SAD and
aging is maybe just a bit
much for me to handle . . .
So, what to do about it.
Mary Oliver and fellow
writers might just be the
answer.
The dour, that would be
moi, need to be reminded
sometimes that it is simply
an incredible gift to be alive.
So what I'm aging! So what
my knees ache! So what I've
lost my girlish figure (as dad
used to say)!
Being alive with intellect
basically in tact is a gift to
end all gifts!
. . . and yes, I am ever so
grateful!
Thank you Mary Oliver!!!
