Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting

is the great magic trick of human existence.

~Tennessee Williams

can it be as sweet as this?

inquiry for today~ maybe your hope comes from this…

for the joy of living…

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
