I wish I was twenty and in love with life

and still full of beans.

Onward, old legs!

There are the long, pale dunes; on the other side

the roses are blooming and finding their labor

no adversity to the spirit.

Upward, old legs! There are the roses, and there is the sea

shining like a song, like a body

I want to touch

though I’m not twenty

and won’t be again but ah! seventy. And still

in love with life. And still

full of beans.

~Mary Oliver

there is a place where deep needs are met…

inquiry for today~ live on into your life…..

mesmerized by possibility

In any give moment

we have two options-

to step forward into growth

or step back into safety.

~Abraham Maslow
