"I want to think
again of dangerous
and noble things.
I want to be light
and frolicsome.
I want to be
improbable beautiful
and afraid of nothing.
As though I had wings.
~ Mary Oliver
So love me some Mary Oliver;
I read her every single day!
I find her very aware and some
how she reduces the negatives
of daily life and inspires to the
bigger and better in simple
terms.
Seems I'm constantly trying to
grow, fix things, make better.
I get the impression from Mary
Oliver it might just be time to
enjoy what time I have left
and stop all the fussing! Prob
wouldn't matter anyway!
I am so going to enjoy this
rainy day . . . reading a good
book, sipping my a.m. coffee,
maybe even being naughty
in the afternoon!
Salud . . .
