    Mary Oliver
    “Still, what I want in my life
    is to be willing
    to be dazzled—

    and maybe even
    to float a little
    above this difficult world.”

    Mary Oliver
    “Praying

    It doesn’t have to be
    the blue iris, it could be
    weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
    small stones; just
    pay attention, then patch

    a few words together and don’t try
    to make them elaborate, this isn’t
    a contest but the doorway

    into thanks, and a silence in which
    another voice may speak.”
